Mendenhall Middle School

National Junior Honor Society

Club Advisor: Ms. Tameka Williams

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle level students.  More than just a honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character.  These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929. 

  Once selected, a student is awarded the privilege of membership in the local chapter at the annual induction ceremony.  With induction, each member assumes certain obligations as outlined by the chapter and the national constitution. The chapter must conduct a service project for the school or community and see to the development of an individual service project for each member. 

For additional information on selection criteria, membership, obligations an procedures of the chapter, please refer to the NJHS handbook (2008 edition).  Copies of the handbook are available from the NASSP sales office or via online ordering at www.njhs.us.
