The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is one of the nation’s premier organizations dedicated to recognizing outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS celebrates students who demonstrate excellence in the five pillars of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. These core values have defined the organization since its founding in 1929.

Today, more than one million students participate in NJHS and National Honor Society (NHS) chapters across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, and Canada. Membership not only acknowledges students’ achievements but also encourages them to grow through active involvement in school activities and meaningful community service.
