National Junior Honor Society at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School
In 1967 the National Junior Honor Society was formed at Blessed Sacrament School to complement and encourage high scholastic ideals in the students as well as ideals of leadership, character, service, and citizenship. Induction takes place during Catholic Schools Week each year and is open to members of the seventh and eighth grades.
To be eligible for membership as a 7th grader, a student must have a final average of 90 or above in every subject in 6th grade and through the second quarter of 7th grade. An 8th grader must have a final average of 90 or above in every subject in 7th grade and at the end of second quarter of 8th grade. In addition to these requirements, participation and leadership in school and outside activities are also required.
Active members are reviewed quarterly and must maintain the high standards of the society. Members are required to maintain a 90 or above in every subject, an S in conduct/effort, and live up to the ideals of the NJHS. Members meet on a monthly basis. Attendance is required to maintain membership. All absences must be made in writing and approved by the advisor in advance to be excused.
Although each student is to be commended for maintaining a high scholastic average, membership is not guaranteed to everyone having a 90 or above in every subject. The decision for membership in the National Junior Honor Society at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, is made by the Faculty Advisory Committee after careful study and consideration.
Parents will be provided the guidelines for selection into the Honor Society at October, January and March conferences.
