Outstanding students are asked to join with others of similar goals to develop themselves and benefit their community. Our organization is affiliated with the national organization and abides by the national rules and regulations.

Purpose: "The purpose of this organization shall be to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage good citizenship in the students of Fred J. Page Middle School."

·         Leaders’ Meetings—held every Wednesday afternoon (starting Sept. 16th) in Mr. Walling’s room (D-4) from 2:45-3:30 p.m.

Process of Selection:
1-Grades: A list is compiled of students who have had 87%  or above in every class on each report card in middle school.
2-Student Rating: Teachers are asked to rate students on leadership, citizenship, character, and service. Those who achieve outstanding rank move to the next step. Teacher rankings are considered confidential and will not be made public.
3-Self-Reporting: The Faculty Advisory Council meets and reviews each student's rating results. Students who are ranked outstanding are invited to fill out a self-reporting information packet listing explaining their co-curricular activities, leadership positions held, service activities, community activities, work experience, recognitions, and awards. Students who are outstanding in this phase are invited to join the National Junior Honor Society and are inducted at an assembly. This form must be filled out carefully by the student.

Appeal: Students not accepted for membership will have three weeks after the announcement to new inductees to ask for a review to determine if they are eligible for membership according to the bylaws. If there are questions or concerns, please contact

Maintaining Membership: To remain in the NJHS a student must continue to maintain the grades, leadership, citizenship, and service which were necessary as set forth in the bylaws to become a member.

1.       87% and higher in all classes each grading period

2.       Serve and appropriately document 6  hours of community service each school year

3.       Attend chapter meetings regularly

 

Activities:  Throughout the year the NJHS will engage in projects which will develop the leadership and citizenship of its members by serving the school and community.
