Honor Society and CJSF

This federation recognizes students for their exemplary academic and citizenship achievement during the school year. In order to earn recognition in this program, students must conform to the bylaws within the CJSF Constitution. Please read and review the following qualifications for membership into CJSF or 6th Grade Honor Society.
Grades earned in 6th grade will qualify students for eligibility in Honor Society. Grades earned in 7th & 8th grade will qualify students for eligibility in CJSF. Membership applications and requirements for Honor Society and CJSF are the same. 6th graders do not apply until February based on their fall semester grades at AEW.

How to Graduate from A.E. Wright with "Honors"
Students who apply for and are accepted into CJSF based on end of semester grades (spring and fall) while in 7th and 8th grade may culminate with "Honors" status. During these four semesters, students must have earned admittance into CJSF in at least three of the four semesters. Each student who culminates from A.E. Wright with "Honors" will receive a gold CJSF pin to wear on their gown during culmination ceremonies. In addition, these students will be recognized during culmination and receive a certificate embossed with a gold seal from CJSF with their diploma.
In accordance with the CJSF bylaws: "on a campus that includes 6th grade, second semester 6th graders as well as first semester 7th graders have no official CJSF status. These students may not serve as officers nor may the semesters count toward Honor Member status." In order to recognize academic excellence in 6th grade, A.E. Wright has established a 6th Grade Honor Society. Membership requirements for 6th Grade Honor Society are the same as CJSF.
