The students had to meet requirements in grade seven to be inducted into the NJHS in grade eight. The following membership requirements are based on the five pillars of NJHS:
- Scholarship: Students must have an average of 90 or higher.
Service: Students make voluntary contributions to their school or community. - Leadership: Students are leaders who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors in their school or community.
- Character: Students are of good character and are cooperative, demonstrate high standards of honesty and reliability; show courtesy, concern, and respect for others, and generally maintain a clean disciplinary record.
- Citizenship: Students who demonstrate citizenship and understand the importance of civic engagement; have a high regard for freedom and justice; respect democracy; respect the law; and demonstrate mature participation and responsibility in activities such as scouting, community organizations, or school clubs.
“As a chapter, we have already completed a service project,” said NJHS advisor Rebecca Newkirk. “The students raked leaves for the Presbyterian Church in Mayfield.
“We are currently holding a food drive for the local food pantry. Donations are being accepted in the main office.”
