NJHS, Booneville Middle School Chapter
Membership in the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is based upon excellence in five areas: scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. Each category is evaluated independently; therefore, failure to qualify in any one area is grounds for exclusion.
NJHS meetings take place in Mrs. Haynes' room during break. The dates and a brief summary of the meeting are listed below:
- 09/11/2014- NJHS members discussed service project ideas for the school year as well as beginning the first project. Students created a list of smart study habits to distribute to the entire BMS student body. This list was turned into a flyer and then distributed to all 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students at BMS.
