National Junior Honor Society (7th/8th grade)
The National Junior Honor Society is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle-level students. NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. Eligibility to receive an invitation for membership first begins with the core value of scholarship. Students entering 7th or 8th grade must attend Saraland Middle School for at least one full semester and have earned a cumulative average of 90% or higher in their core courses. Once inducted, students are expected to maintain academic excellence while volunteering at least 10 hours of service in their community.
Members of NJHS are required to complete 10 community service hours this year. Service hour forms can be found in the files section. Service hours can be earned in various ways including: donating items or volunteering at local shelters (including pet shelters), volunteering at local churches or other organizations, participating in local food or toy drives, making essential needs bags for the homeless, etc. If there is any question about a service hour opportunity, please ask! School-wide community service opportunities amongst our NJHS Chapter or other student organizations are also accepted and highly encouraged!
The charter for a National Junior Honor Society was approved for Saraland Middle School in the Fall of 2010. The first group of members was inducted in January 2011.
Invitations for this years ceremony will be sent home on Thursday, October 2nd.
