What is the National Junior Honor Society? 

Selection for membership is by a faculty review of applicants and is based on outstanding scholarship, citizenship, character, leadership, and service. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate these qualities. Members who resign or are dismissed are no longer eligible for membership or its benefits and they may not reapply for membership. Once selected members will be expected to attend meetings and participate in NJHS service projects, activities, and fundraisers. 

1. To be eligible for membership the candidate must be a second-semester sixth-grader OR a seventh or eighth grader at Mapleton Middle School. 

2. The selection of members to the chapter shall be by a majority vote of the faculty council. 

3. All faculty members will review the applicants’ names. Students who do not promote service, leadership, citizenship, and character in the classroom will not be considered for membership. 

All applicants will be required to submit one essay, choosing to discuss the pillars of NJHS. 

Students are required to include a letter of recommendation from an adult who can speak to the pillars of character, leadership, citizenship, and service.
