Requirements for Invitation
An invitation to join NJHS is a considerable honor! It is based on your academic performance and behavior during the 1st - 3rd 9 weeks of your 7th grade year.
Academics: NJHS reviews your grades from the 4 core subjects: math, science, language arts, and social studies for the 1st - 3rd 9 weeks. You MUST HAVE an overall average of 87.5 or higher in EACH of your core classes to qualify.
For example: in math you have a 88, 91, 90 for the 1st-3rd 9 weeks > averaged = 89.67 > EACH of your core classes MUST HAVE an overall average of 87.5 or higher to qualify > your math average of 89.67 meets the requirement > now your other 3 core classes have to meet the requirement, too, in order to qualify for NJHS
We do NOT use GPAs in middle school to qualify for NJHS.
We do NOT weight averages based on academic, AAC, or GT in middle school to qualify for NJHS.
Behavior: NJHS reviews your behavior for the 1st - 3rd 9 weeks in all of your classes. You can NOT have received a U or ISS. You can have received ONLY ONE N in conduct.
Once a list of qualified students is compiled at the end of the 3rd 9 weeks, invitations are sent out to join during 7th grade activity.Â
Invited 7th graders then fill out the online application to join and return it electronically.
Once applications are received, our Faculty Council reviews the applicants for approval. The sponsors do not have any input.
Information on the Induction Ceremony, Remind texts, dues, Sign Up Genius, service projects, meetings, etc. will be given out to new members after the approved application period has ended.
MMS NJHS Appeals Process
If you were not invited to join NJHS, you may write an appeal. Not your parents. YOU write the appeal that you want to be considered for NJHS.
Please open our appeals process document, fill it in, and then submit it digitally to one of the sponsors, Kim Moore or Meredith Pickett. The sponsors will present your appeal to our Faculty Council who carefully review each appeal and make a final decision. Once the decision is made, the sponsors will notify you. The sponsors have no influence on the decision made by the Council. You have 10 days to appeal from the day the qualified list has been posted. This year's qualified list will be posted on April 5. Appeals are due by April 15.
