National Junior Honor Society Pillars:

SCHOLARSHIP

The John M. Tidwell School chapter requires that members maintain academic excellence by maintaining an 85 cumulative average in core subjects for each grading period. Failure to maintain theses grades may result in probation and a possible dismissal hearing from NJHS.  

CITIZENSHIP

Good citizenship encompasses your behavior.  It also includes your duties, rights, and privileges as a citizen of Tidwell Middle School. 

SERVICE

Service involves doing things for other people without expecting a reward. Service is volunteering to help complete a task that will enrich the life of another person. NJHS members at our school are required to participate in at least 25 hours of community service every school year. A student might volunteer at church, school, clubs, or community.  You will submit your hours through the Top Titan Community Service  Program.

LEADERSHIP

Leadership is highly regarded in candidates. A student may be a leader in school or community organizations. A leader is a person that other students look up to and respect. A leader sets a good example for others to follow.

CHARACTER

Your character is the combination of qualities that distinguishes you from another person.  It is your combined moral and ethical make-up.
