    Requirements:

    Membership in the Memorial Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is based on Five Pillars: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, Citizenship, and Service. Qualified students are selected for NJHS membership by a majority vote of Faculty Council.  No student is automatically a member because he/she makes certain grades.  The following criteria will be used in determining whether a student will or will not qualify for membership:

    1. A student must have an overall GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the four core classes (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies) and all high school credit courses.

    2. A student must display character and citizenship by earning an "A" or "B" in conduct in all courses, with no documented referrals.

    3. A Student Activity Application form must be completed and submitted with a parent's signature on or before the published deadline located on the application.

    4. The Faculty Council will make the final selection.

    5. Eligible 7th and 8th grade students will be inducted in the fall. Eligible 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students will be inducted in the spring.

    During the year, members must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the four core classes (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies) and all high school credit courses. Also, an "A" or "B" in conduct in all classes, without any referrals, to remain an active member. If a student's grade falls below this criterion during a grading period, he/she will be given probationary time during the next grading period. His/her grade(s) must be brought up in order to maintain membership.  Failure to bring up his/her grades to required standards at the end of the following grading period will result in loss of membership.
