Welcome NJHS Members!
NJHS is a non-profit organization where student's past and future achievemnets are recognized in class and in the community. National Junior Honor Society encourages children to continue to do their best in every area of their life. In this society, students who excell in academics and students who excell in volunteering/ community work are group together to learn from each other in both aspects. This helps students who are greatly pressured on academics to not be deprived of services. (They ARE cool activites!) It also helps students to get active with their community and experience the world outside of them and their schoo. National Junior Honor Society allows children to develop new friends and have fun while striving to improve the community for the better.
