History

The NHS ( National Honor Society) was founded in 1921 by the NASSP (National Association of Secondary School Principals.) The NJHS was established eight years later, in 1929, after the NASSP saw a need for an Honor Society for middle level students. Since then, both societies have grown, the NHS to 14,000 chapters and the NJHS to 5,000 chapters.

Students who wish to be inducted must achieve a 4.3 cumulative average or higher. This is a B+/A- academic average for Level 1 students and an A/A- average for Level 2 students. Students must also have good conduct and effort grades (ones and twos on their report cards and progress reports) and consistently demonstrate all five tenets of the NJHS.

The NJHS sponsors dances and other activities throughout the school year. Ms. Wright and Ms. Vitale are the current NJHS faculty advisors.
