The Owen J. Roberts Middle School is a recognized chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. Students are selected by the faculty for membership in the NJHS on the basis of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Eighth grade students who have earned Distinguished Honor Roll status for three out of four marking periods during their seventh grade year are eligible to apply for membership. Eligible applicants will be notified via letter regarding the application and selection process. Applications must be received by the established deadline. A faculty panel will review all materials and make the final determination of those students selected for membership. An induction ceremony is held annually to welcome new members.
