National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)
Chapter Adviser: Mrs. Doyle
Faculty Council: Ms. Avery, Mrs. Smolen, Mrs. Kessenich, Ms. Torres, Mr. Coulter, and Ms. Beasley

​Eligibility Requirements: Students in grades 6 – 8 who meet the requirements for membership outlined by their school’s chapter are eligible to be invited for membership.  Students must be in their second semester of sixth grade for consideration.
Each chapter is required to publish its qualifications for membership, which is based on the five pillars of NJHS:
  • Scholarship
    Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 out of a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence. (Each school chapter is allowed to require a higher cumulative GPA.)
  • Service
This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation.
  • Leadership
    Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.
  • Character
    The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.
  • Citizenship
    The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic engagement; has a high regard for freedom and justice; respects democracy; respects the law for all citizens at the local, state, and federal levels; and demonstrates mature participation and responsibility in activities such as scouting, community organizations, or school clubs.
Students who meet the scholarship requirement will have an opportunity to complete a form / application detailing their accomplishments in and commitment to service, leadership, character, and citizenship.

A copy of the bylaws for the NJHS Lenart Chapter is available per request.
