Dear Student,
Your grades make you eligible for consideration for the National Junior Honor Society. However, membership in this group is more than just good grades. Your candidacy is also based on good citizenship, service to the community, leadership, and good character.
For the committee to evaluate you in these areas, you need to submit a letter that explains how you demonstrate strengths in each of these areas. Citizenship in both our community and our country should be demonstrated. Any service hours that you have done for school, the parish, or the community should be noted. Leadership can be either formal positions held or leadership roles that you have assumed informally. Character is the most important of the qualities considered. How do you demonstrate the qualities of integrity, responsibility, fairness, and compassion?
The letter should be a reflection of the high standards you have. It should be well organized, grammatically correct, typed, and neatly presented. There should be a paragraph or sentence requesting consideration for the NJHS. There should be separate paragraphs that explain how you demonstrate each of the four qualities both in school and out of school. Please see the sample letter for an idea of how to organize your letter.
Please submit your letter to Mrs. Makohn no later than Tuesday, April 26. Please also turn in your service hour sheet with your letter. Students that do not submit their letter and service hours in a timely manner will not be admitted to NJHS.
The induction ceremony will be on Thursday, May 5 at 2:30 PM. We are still finalizing plans for the ceremony. At this time it looks like we will be able to allow four-five guests per candidate. More details will follow as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makohn
