The National Junior Honor Society distributed
applications today to those students who are academically eligible for
membership in the National Junior Honor Society as administered at Memorial
Middle School. In order to apply for membership, the student’s cumulative grade point
average must meet or exceed our chapter’s standard for Scholarship. This standard is currently set at 3.8 on a
4.0 scale. These candidates should be
proud of this accomplishment which serves as the first step in our selection
procedures.
The candidates that meet the Scholarship standard are now eligible to submit
additional information for consideration by our chapter’s Faculty Council. The Faculty Council will carefully review each
student’s credentials. In addition to
the Scholarship standard, membership in NJHS is also based on the standards of
Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and Character. To be selected as a member of
NJHS, students must demonstrate in their application and essay that they have
met or exceeded these additional standards. An explanation of our chapter’s standards
in each of these areas is included with the candidate’s application.
Candidates that choose to apply should
submit their application directly to either of our advisors, Mrs. MacDonald or
Mrs. Striglio,by Tuesday, December 6th. Candidates will be notified of the results of
the Faculty Council no later than Friday, December 23, 2016.
Candidates or parents with questions
regarding NJHS or the selection process, can contact Mrs. MacDonald or Mrs. Striglio,
781-925-2040 ext. 1105/1106, or by e-mail at rmacdonald@town.hull.ma.us or sstriglio@town.hull.ma.us. Additional information about NJHS can be
found in the student handbook posted on the Memorial Middle School website.
