National Junior Honor Society
The International School at Gregory
National Junior Honor Society
Selection Procedure Description
The International School at Gregory’s National Junior Honor Society chapter is a duly
chartered and affiliated chapter of this prestigious national organization.
Membership is open to those students who meet the required standards in five areas of
evaluation: scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship.
Students are selected for membership by majority vote of a five-member faculty
council, which bestows this honor upon qualified students on behalf of the faculty of our
school each school year.
Students in grades 6-8 are eligible for membership. After Semester 1 grades are
released, those students who meet this criterion are invited to complete a Candidate
Form that provides the faculty council with information regarding the candidate’s
leadership and service.
Upon meeting the grade level, enrollment, and GPA standards, candidates shall then
be considered based on:
● character, as evidenced by their school disciplinary record; and
● a holistic review of the student’s involvement in leadership positions, student
activities, service or community hours, and/or recognition and awards.
Any solicited faculty input and all Candidate Forms are carefully reviewed by the
faculty council to determine membership. A majority vote of the council is necessary for
selection. Candidates are notified regarding selection or non-selection according to a
predetermined schedule.
Following notification, a formal induction ceremony is held at the school to recognize all
the newly selected members. Once inducted, new members are required to maintain
the same level of performance (or better) in all four criteria that led to their selection.
