National Junior Honor Society
-
Hogg M.S. Razorback ChapterThe National Junior Honor Society is one of the oldest and most respected student recognition organizations in the United States. Membership in NJHS distinguishes students who have committed themselves to the pursuit of academic excellence, community improvement, and personal development.
More Than an Honor Roll
Academic achievement is a core component of NJHS, but today’s students need much more than just good grades to get ahead. NJHS’s focus on service, leadership, and character helps students build the skills and relationships that will ensure success throughout their academic years and beyond. When NJHS members participate in community service projects, attend national leadership events, and serve as ambassadors to their schools and communities, they:
- Begin networking with other accomplished student leaders who are focused on personal growth and building a solid foundation for their future endeavors
- Build a portfolio of life achievements that can be featured on applications for colleges and careers, as well as cover letters and resumes
- Learn how to be a more effective leader, and why leadership skills are an essential tool at any stage of life.
A Proud Tradition
The NJHS membership card and NJHS membership certificate (available from your NJHS adviser) represent your student’s participation in a proud Honor Society tradition that recognizes the achievement and effort of young people working to make change in their schools and communities, a tradition that includes such admired and respected names as Gerald Ford, Elizabeth Dole, Katie Couric, and Meryl Streep.
