FAQ's
What is the NJHS?
-
NJHS is a National Organization designed to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage citizenship in middle school students.
What is the basis of NJHS membership?
- Selection for membership is by a faculty council and is based on outstanding character, scholarship, leadership, service, and citizenship.
WHEN are new members selected?
-
At the end of the first semester (February, students in 7th or 8th grade with cumulative GPA’s of 3.4 or higher are invited to petition the faculty council for membership. Students must complete a Student Activity Information Form & Essay Response . Forms submitted by the deadline are then reviewed by the faculty council. Students are selected for membership based on the characteristics listed above.
My child made the honor roll, why did she not receive an invitation and membership information?
-
The most common reason for this is the difference between using a student's current GPA vs. her cumulative GPA. The Honor Roll is typically based on one 10-week marking period, in order to qualify for NJHS, a student's cumulative GPA (all grades while at MS-C, including 6th grade) are used.
My child was a member of NJHS at another school. Does he have to start all over at MS-C and fill out all of that paperwork?
-
No -- Once proof of membership is given to the MS-C Adviser (a letter from the former principal or chapter advisor, or a NJHS membership card) he will be accepted automatically as a member of this chapter. (Members of the National Elementary Honor Society do NOT automatically become members of NJHS.)
