Pocono Mountain West Junior High School

The National Junior Honor Society is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929.

Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in official Honor Society activities. NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

***Students must have a 95% grade average for the fall semester of the current year.  They must complete a packet detailing their community involvement, achievements and service.  Teachers will be able to submit their evaluations of all students being considered and then a council of 5 teachers will vote on whether each candidate should be accepted.  Students who receive at least three votes will be chosen.***
