What is the National Junior Honor Society?
Exemplary academic achievement at Colony Middle School will qualify you to apply to become a member of the National Junior Honor Society. Membership in NJHS is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a student. Our chapter strives to give practical meaning to the Society's standards of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character.
These five ideals will be considered as the basis for your selection as well as a fundamental part of our chapter activities. No student is inducted simply because of high academic average. The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student--one who excels in all of these areas.
If you are chosen to be inducted into the Colony Middle School Chapter of the NJHS, you will be expected to:
-
Maintain a GPA of at least 3.5
-
Participate in all mandatory NJHS meetings
-
Complete 10 hours of individual community service per quarter
-
Pay an annual due of $10.00
-
Participate in the NJHS Chapter community service project
-
Demonstrate leadership, good citizenship, and character at Colony Middle School and in the community.
If you have any questions about the obligations of being an NJHS member or about the application process, please see the NJHS advisor, Mrs. Bright.
