National Junior Honors
Society Overview from the NHS/NJHS website.
“The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor
Society (NJHS) are the nation's premier organizations established to recognize
outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor
roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated
excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and
Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with
membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929.
Today, it is estimated that more than one million students
participate in activities of the NHS and NJHS. NHS and NJHS chapters are found
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories,
and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their
accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active
involvement in school activities and community
service.” (http://www.nhs.us/s_nhs/sec.asp?CID=126&DID=5270)
