What is National Junior Honor Society?
Membership into the chapter is a very high honor bestowed upon a student. Selection for membership is by a faculty council, which selected by the Principal and the Chapter Advisor of the School. Student selection is based on the effective demonstration of the five qualities held in high esteem by the society. These qualities are outstanding Scholarship, Character, Leadership, Service, and Citizenship. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate these qualities. They must also maintain a 3.7 (A-) overall grade point average on a 4.0 scale. No student is inducted simply because of high academic average. National Junior Honors Society strives to recognize the total student, one who excels in ALL 5 areas. We are truly a service organization, giving to others.
National Junior Honor Society is a National organization that was established with the purpose of creating enthusiasm for scholarship, to simulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to encourage good citizenship. This chapter was established in 1987. Since that time, our numbers have grown and our services have increased. Throughout the years, we have enjoyed doing various things for our school, teachers, and community. We sponsored a young girl from Ethiopia for three years and sponsored a boy from Alabama named Julius, for 15 years! We are now sponsoring a new boy, Pekendrae. This is all through the Child Life/Christian Children's Fund.
We have been able to make donations to organizations such as Riley Children's Hospital, Johnson County Special Services, American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, Proctor Park, and others groups as well! We sponsor Red Ribbon Week and decorate the school at Christmas. We have been buying Christmas gifts and clothes for the children at Headstart in Franklin. In the past, we have bought eyeglasses, hearing aids, clothes, and shoes for students in need at our school. We have been able to sponsor and participate in these actives only through the hard work and dedication of our members and their parents. We raised money through car washes, school pictures, selling spirit wear, and the Welcome Back Dance.
Our members also attend the Butler Ropes Course Leadership training in September, to learn to work together and become better leaders
National Junior Honor Society meets every other Friday, unless told otherwise, morning at 7:10 a.m., and each member is required to attend.
The student's academic, attendance, and behavior records have been reviewed. The academic requirements, A- or a 3.7 on a scale of 4.0, is based on a student's scholastic average from the fall semester.
