National Junior Honor Society is a service oriented organization which 
strives to promote leadership and citizenship skills in it's members (see 
NJHS website under "Links" for further information about the national 
organization).  Membership in NJHS is granted after careful consideration of 
applications by our membership committee.  This membership is the highest 
honor that the school can bestow on a student because it acknowledges 
excellence, not just in one activity, but in all.  Students are invited to 
join NJHS after they have exhibited these standards of excellence:  
Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship and Character.  
NJHS students are our future community leaders and, as such, are expected to 
be positive role models to their peers as well as to others.

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
 - Scholarship:  Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.6.
 - Leadership:  Attend and participate in monthly NJHS meetings. NJHS    
   members are expected to be positive leaders in and out of the classroom.
 - Service:  Volunteer for 20 hours of community/school service per school 
   year.  Service projects will be available throughout the year. 
 - Citizenship:  Follow school/civic rules and participate positively in the 
   community.Remain free of disciplinary referrals.
 - Character:  Be honest, trustworthy, and dependable in all things.

COMMUNITY/SCHOOL SERVICE HOURS
Members are required to participate in 20 community/school hours per school 
year.  Service hours are considered as any time spent helping someone outside 
your family for which you are not paid.  There will be opportunities during 
the school year for students to earn service hours both during and after 
school hours.  Students should also work on their volunteer hours 
independently. All volunteer hours must be documented and need to include 
signatures of those who supervised the volunteer work or parents.  All 
documentation of volunteer hours must be submitted by the last NJHS meeting 
of the year. Documentation forms are availble on this website under "NJHS 
Forms."  Service hours documentation must be handed in by the student in 
person either at a meeting or given directly to the advisor.  Students have 
from the time induction occurs until the last meeting of the year (1 year) to 
complete their volunteer hours and turn in documentation.  Forms for the 2011-
2012 shcool year are due by the last meeting of the year on May 12, 2012.

MEETING ATTENDANCE
Members are required to attend all meetings.  If you are going to miss a 
meeting, your parent must notify the advisor in writing in advance.  Three 
unexcused absences will result in dismissal from NJHS.

DISMISSAL
Students who do not meet the membership requirements will be dismissed from 
NJHS.
