How Do I Become a Member of the SMS NJHS?

Membership in Smith National Junior Honor Society is limited to 8th graders only, and the selection process occurs at the end of the 7th-grade year. At the end of April of the 7th-grade year, candidates are invited to join NJHS. In order to receive an invitation, you must meet the Scholarship (maintained a 90% average for all your classes/electives, an 80% average for all Pre-AP/Advanced classes, for the 1st - 5th six-week grading periods) and Character requirements (never received ISS and maintained a 90 or above in conduct for the 1st - 5^th six-week grading periods). Grades are reviewed at the end of each six week grading period.

After meeting these first two requirements, students who qualify will then be evaluated by each of their teachers using a 0-5 scale in each of the following areas: citizenship, service, leadership, character. Students who have a 16 average or higher will be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Please Note: Grades alone do not guarantee membership in NJHS. Each student must also have a 16 average or higher from the teachers and staff to become a member.

Throughout the year, the most efficient way to inform you of upcoming events/activities is through email. I will often send out sign-up sheets through the emails also. To sign up, you simply open the link and enter your information on the spreadsheet. This can also be done using smartphones making it very convenient for all.
