National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) – Denn John Middle School

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is one of the most prestigious organizations for middle school students across the nation. At Denn John Middle School, we are proud to recognize outstanding students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and Character.

What is NJHS?

Founded in 1929, the National Junior Honor Society serves to honor students who have shown exceptional academic achievement and a commitment to their school and community. Membership is both an honor and a responsibility, and students selected for NJHS are expected to continue to demonstrate the qualities that led to their selection.

NJHS Pillars

NJHS membership is based on five core pillars:

  • Scholarship – Maintaining a high academic standard (typically a GPA of 3.5 or higher)

  • Leadership – Demonstrating leadership in the classroom and through extracurricular involvement

  • Service – Volunteering and giving back to school and community

  • Citizenship – Upholding the values of civic involvement and responsibility

  • Character – Demonstrating honesty, integrity, and respect in all aspects of life

Selection Process

Eligible students are typically invited to apply in the spring semester of each academic year. Candidates must meet GPA requirements and submit an application that showcases their involvement in service and leadership activities. Faculty members review applications and make final selections.

Member Expectations

Once inducted, NJHS members are expected to:

  • Maintain high academic and behavioral standards

  • Attend regular chapter meetings

  • Participate in school and community service projects

  • Serve as role models for their peers

Annual NJHS Induction Ceremony

Our annual Induction Ceremony is a highlight of the school year, celebrating the achievements of our newest NJHS members. Families are encouraged to attend and support their student’s accomplishments.
