North Syracuse National Junior Honor Society Information
National Junior Honor Society Information
THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE INFORMATION IN THE PLANNER
Selection to the National Junior Honor Society is a privilege, not a right. Students do not apply for membership in the National Junior Honor Society. Instead, they provide information to be used by the Faculty Council for review. Members will be selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. Membership to the North Syracuse Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is granted to those students who meet all the requirements established in the constitution and by the Faculty Council.
How do I know if I qualify for a STUDENT ACTIVITY INFORMATIONAL FORMS?
Students in eighth and ninth grade, who earn an overall average of 90 or better and have attended North Syracuse Junior High School in the first two marking periods, will receive a National Junior Honor Society STUDENT ACTIVITY INFORMATIONAL FORMS packet in homeroom the week that report cards go out for the 2nd quarter. If a student does not receive the Information Forms packet and believes he/she meets the grade requirement then please bring your report card to Mrs. Beebe in Room 139.
