National Junior Honor Society chapter of Walsh Middle School Selection 
Process

The National Junior Honor Society chapter of Walsh Middle School is a duly 
chartered and affiliated chapter of this prestigious national organization. 
Membership is open to those students who meet the required standards in five 
areas of evaluation: scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and 
character. Standards for selection are established by the national office of 
NJHS and have been revised to meet our local chapter needs. Students are 
selected to be members by a 5-member Faculty Council, appointed by the 
principal, which bestows this honor upon qualified students on behalf of the 
faculty of our school.

Students in the seventh or eighth grades are eligible for membership. For the 
scholarship criterion, a student must have a cumulative average of 93 through 
the third 6 weeks or better in core subjects, foreign languages, and high 
school credited classes. Those students who meet this criterion will be 
invited to complete a Student Activity Information Form given out at the 
beginning of March that provides the Faculty Council with information 
regarding the candidate’s leadership and service. A history of leadership 
experiences and participation in school or community service is also 
required.

To evaluate a candidate’s character, the Faculty Council uses two forms of 
input. First, school disciplinary records are reviewed.  Second, members of 
the faculty are solicited for input regarding their professional reflections 
on a candidate’s service activities, character, citizenship, and leadership.

These forms and the Student Activity Information Forms are carefully reviewed 
by the Faculty Council to determine membership. A majority vote of the 
Council is necessary for selection. Candidates are notified regarding 
selection or non-selection according to a predetermined schedule.

Following notification, a formal induction ceremony is held at the school to 
recognize all the newly selected members. Once inducted, new members are 
required to maintain the same level of performance (or better) in all five 
criteria that led to their selection. This obligation includes regular 
attendance at chapter meetings held monthly during the school year, 15 
service hours per year, and participation in the chapter service projects(s). 
Students or parents who have questions regarding the selection process or 
membership obligations can contact the chapter advisors, Molly Rozich or 
Christina Morello.
