3. The Five NJHS Pillars Character Scholarship Leadership Service
The student of good character upholds principles of morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others, and generally maintains a good and clean lifestyle.
Scholarship
Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 90 percent meet the scholarship requirement for membership. These students are then eligible for consideration of the four pillars.
Leadership
Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea-contributors, dependable and exemplify positive attitudes about life. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.
Service
This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community done without compensation and with a positive, courteous and enthusiastic spirit.
Citizenship
The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic involvement, has a high regard for freedom, justice, and democracy. This student also demonstrates mature participation and responsibility through involvement with such activities as scouting, community organizations and school clubs.

4. Prerequisites of Membership
Academics - overall GPA must be 90 unweighted to be eligible to receive application
Discipline – A student is prevented from advancing in the selection process if he/she has violated any school rules. Any student receiving multiple discipline referrals for violating the student code of conduct will not be eligible for membership.

Students received Student Information Sheet/Application Tuesday Jan 29th
In order for the form to be utilized in the selection process, the student must complete ALL sections and return the sheet by the deadline, Monday, 2/11 at 4pm
If students do not return their form by Monday, 2/11 at 4pm, will result in candidate being penalized on the application process. Forms should only be turned in before or after school so as not to disrupt class time.

Teachers will look at such things as:
Sets positive example
Shows positive attitude
Works well with others
Remains on task
Consistently meets deadlines

All evaluation forms will then be submitted to the faculty council for thorough examination.
The determination of members will result from this process.

9. Faculty Council Council is made up of 5 faculty members.
The council evaluates all forms submitted for consideration for NJHS membership.
The faculty council analyzes the student’s information and teacher evaluations and determines a final decision.

10. Important Notes
Sponsors facilitate the selection process but do not choose the members.
A student who meets the high standards for NJHS membership is invited to join the organization.
During the selection process, if a student does NOT uphold the membership requirements, then he/she will not advance.
There is no minimum or maximum amount of NJHS members. However, this is not an “Honor Roll” club.
Grades are only a portion of the membership requirement.
