Welcome!
The Cathy Conroy Memorial Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) upholds high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship and character. For the 2023-2024 school year the sponsor will be Ms. Valerie Johnson.
Service Opportunities
Students will be required to complete 20 hours of service during the 8th grade year to be considered a member in good standing at the end of the year. There are weekly service opportunities like recycling (Fridays) & clean up (Wednesdays). You can find the signup sheets for those on the NJHS bulletin board outside Mrs. Thompsons office. We will also do one service project a month as a chapter but feel free to participate in service opportunities outside of school. The service hours google form link is below.
Dues
All NJHS members must pay $10 for dues. You can do this by visiting the CHMS website, scroll to the bottom, click on online student payments, and then selecting NJHS dues. The link is also below to pay through OSP.

Induction Process
Each spring, 7th grade students are inducted into NJHS and participate in the club for the remainder of 7th grade year and the following 8th grade year. All 7th grade students will be invited to have their grades reviewed by the 7th grade counselor to determine eligibility for application. This invitation will be extended after the first semester of 7th grade ends. Invitations typically go out late February. Once a student returns the invitation, grades will be reviewed. In order to progress in the induction process, a student has to have a final 6th grade report card of "A's" with no more than 3 "B's" and 7th grade, 1st semester grades of "A's" with no more than 3 "B's." All class grades will be reviewed, including electives. Students who meet this eligibility requirement will be invited to apply. Students must secure a teacher recommendation and write an essay regarding scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship, and character to complete the application process. Select staff will review the completed application to determine if membership will be offered. Please review the NJHS Scoring Rubric below:
