A Tradition of Academic Excellence

The California Junior Scholarship Federation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and encourage academic achievement and community service among students in California. Our sixth-graders are not eligible as official CJSF requirements begin in seventh grade and continue through middle school into high school as CSF. This program is unique in that students must earn the grades to qualify, and they must join every semester. Membership is not automatic, and every year at Doty we have over 100 students join CJSF. Our three-semester scholars have qualified and joined every semester that they have been able to do so as a student at Doty.

In addition to joining CJSF, the students are asked to be active in their school community. It is mandatory to do service hours on and off campus in order to qualify. Although not required, many CJSF students also give their time and talent to different campus activities such as ASB, WEB, PLTW - Robotics, Femineers, playing in one of our many sports, performing with Band or Choir, acting in a Drama play, or competing in Mock Trial… all the while maintaining the needed grades to be part of CJSF, and being citizens of character. Many of our CJSF honorees participate in more than one of the aforementioned activities.

Doty Middle School is extremely proud of our CJSF members! Keep up the fantastic work!
