The Cocalico Middle School National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) recognizes students who demonstrate excellence both in and beyond the classroom. Chartered in 2010, our chapter is part of a nationwide organization dedicated to honoring middle school students who exemplify the five pillars of NJHS:
Scholarship
Leadership
Service
Character
Citizenship
Membership in NJHS is more than an academic achievement; it is a commitment to making a positive impact within our school and community. Members are encouraged to lead by example, serve others, uphold high ethical standards, and continue striving for academic excellence.
Membership Selection
Each spring, eligible sixth- and seventh-grade students are invited to participate in the selection process. Students who meet the required cumulative GPA are notified of their eligibility; however, eligibility alone does not guarantee membership.
Eligible students complete a candidate information packet highlighting their accomplishments in scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. A faculty council carefully reviews each candidate using the National Junior Honor Society selection criteria before extending invitations for membership.
Students who accept membership are formally recognized during an annual induction ceremony and commit to continuing the high standards expected of NJHS members through leadership, service, and active participation in the chapter.
