About NJHS
NJHS is:
• a co-curricular activity that actively supports the educational goals of the school (see Breaking
Ranks, NASSP, Chapter 1)
• a national recognition program established in 1929 by NASSP and found in public and private schools in every state as well as in schools in more than 70 countries
• an opportunity to involve chapter members in significant learning experiences, especially in the area of service (see Turning Points, Carnegie Corporation, recommendation #8)
• inclusive — open to all students who choose to apply themselves and consequently meet the five established criteria of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character
• a chance for the faculty to bestow membership (through the actions of the faculty council/selection committee); membership is a privilege, not a right of students
• a program with national guidelines linked with opportunity for significant local input to reflect local educational standards
• a program for all middle level schools.
