National Junior Honor Society:

Students are selected after meeting certain criteria, are nominated for membership and agree to the conditions of membership. The first step toward membership is identifying students who meet academic eligibility based on the benchmark described in the National Constitution: a cumulative grade point average of 90 percent or higher.

Additionally there are five ideals that are considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student—one who excels in all of these areas. The standards used for selection are: Scholarship: 90% cumulative average, leadership, service, character, and citizenship: as demonstrated by activities and teacher evaluations. This would be implemented after marking period 2 where students have more of an opportunity to learn about the NJHS criteria and work towards them.
