Maintaining Membership in the NJHS

The National Junior Honor Society is a service organization whose members determine and prioritize needs in their community and create plans of action to assist with those needs. Students in the NJHS must maintain their honor roll status and high standards of the ideals of the NJHS through their eighth grade year. If at any time these standards slip below the acceptable level, the student may be recommended for probation or dismissal. A student recommended for probation or dismissal will be notified in writing and, except for cases of a flagrant violation of school rules, will be offered a way to show that the standard in question is being raised back to its original, high level. Students who are dismissed or resign from the NJHS will never again be eligible for membership. However, students who resign or are dismissed from NJHS are not automatically excluded from membership in the NHS when they reach high school.
