Membership in the St. Thomas More Chapter of the
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is both an honor and a
privilege. Membership is by selection and both 7thand 8thgrade
students may be considered for membership. No student has the
right to be selected for membership. According to national rules,
students may not apply for membership in NJHS. The Faculty
Council, consisting of five teachers who have contact with the
students, grants membership to students exhibiting the following
characteristics: scholarship, leadership, character, citizenship
and service. In evaluating the candidates, the Faculty Council
works with specific definitions of these criteria as demonstrated
within our school environment. Students selected for membership
are expected to continue to demonstrate the above-mentioned
qualities. 7th and 8thGrade students are provided with the
criteria for selection at the beginning of each school year.
Students who have received disciplinary actions (Detention
Referral, Suspension, etc. are not eligible for NJHS membership). |
