What is NJHS?  

The Hornedo Middle School NJHS chapter is a member of the National Junior Honor Society. The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. These five pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1929. 

Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NJHS activities. NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, US Territories, and around the world . Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

As such, NJHS chapters and students are in schools that care not only about student achievement, but also community engagement.

NJHS students and their peers volunteer in their communities at the highest rates and make connecting with and serving within the community a priority. The average chapter contributes:

• 650 hours of school/community service

• $1,000 in charitable donations

• 500 pounds of food to local, state, and national causes

Our local chapter participates in the following events annually:

• Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive (over $18,000 combined the last three years)

• Center Against Family Violence Christmas gifts (over 100 every year)

• Various on and off campus events

Qualifications:

After the 3rd 9 weeks of 7th grade, students grades are reviewed.  Those who have a 92.0 GPA or higher are invited to apply for membership.  After this process is complete and screened, students are invited to be inducted as members for the following school year.
