NJHS

SJHS has decided it is time to take a step towards the future. SJHS has decided to participate in NJHS (National Junior Honor Society). The NJHS is a program for junior high students in eighth and ninth grade. According to Ms. Dunn, an English teacher at SJHS and the NJHS advisor, NJHS is a program where students get together to perform service projects, and go on outings and field trips. NJHS is NHS(National Honor Society) just for junior high students.

To be part of NJHS you must have a 3.5 GPA and fill out an application. According to Ms. Dunn, students who qualified received applications in their English classes. Students who wish to join must apply. Completed applications are due Friday, March 4 to Ms. Dunn’s room, P110. Applications will be reviewed by a committee, who will then decide which students should be accepted. Students who are accepted will be notified at the end of March.

Ms. Dunn said, “NJHS is a wonderful way for students to contribute service to SJHS and the community. It is an opportunity for students to have leadership roles and make new friendships. It also looks great on a college application.” 

Ms. Distefano, the SJHS ninth grade counselor, said, “I’m really excited about NJHS. It is another activity students can be involved in, and I hope it will have a positive effect on SJHS students and help SJHS students be motivated to work hard in school.”
