promote leadership, develop character, and encourage citizenship. For
those who are willing to use their talents and skills to improve society,
NJHS can make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and
the spirit of the school and community.

| NJHS
IS NOT- |
- Extra-curricular (it supports the established curriculum and is not ‘outside’ the
influence of the curriculum)
- A “junior” program
of the National Honor Society. NJHS exists as a separate and
independent organization
from its sister group, (NHS).
- An honor roll (MORE factors
are considered in the selection process than just grades)
NJHS prides itself on developing productive citizens who focus
on student leadership and performing school and community service.
Through giving service, members learn that it is important to give
back and get involved. By holding to these principles, NJHS members
improve the quality of their school, community, and world. |
