National Junior Honor Society

Sponsor

Description:

- Membership in NJHS is both an honor and a commitment. It is this commitment that has helped shape the Honor Society’s reputation for excellence, making it a valued asset among administrators, faculty members, students, parents, and communities.
- NJHS is done by invite only. To be nominated for NJHS candidacy, 7th grade students must be enrolled in at least 3 core honors classes. The final FALL semester average for each honors course must be at least a 90%. The final FALL semester average for the remaining level course (if applicable) must be a 92%. The final FALL semester average for each elective course must be at least a 90%. Students must be enrolled at York Junior High for at least 1 full semester. Students who meet these criteria will receive a letter encouraging them to apply for NJHS membership which will be delivered after Spring Break. Candidacy letters and completing an application packet does not automatically assume membership into the York Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. Application packets are reviewed by the York Junior High faculty council and nominees are issued a final letter of acceptance or denial.
