Selection Procedure for Membership

·        Membership in the Northport Middle School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is bestowed upon those students who have consistently demonstrated outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, service, and citizenship in the school.

·        Selection of new members will be by a majority vote of the Faculty Council, which is comprised of five current members of the faculty of Northport Middle School.

·        Candidates for membership in the Junior Honor Society must have at least an overall average of 90 for each of six consecutive quarters.

·        Each candidate for membership must submit an application for membership that will include whatever service has been rendered in school and in the community, as well as the names and signatures of three faculty sponsors.  Each candidate must have at least five hours of services to school and five hours of service in the community.  (Family responsibilities, such as babysitting, or chores do not count for service.  Music lessons, religious education, and graded activities, such as chorus, orchestra, and band, do not count for service.)  The application will be mailed to qualified students at the end of January 2008.

·        Candidates for membership will also be evaluated on the basis of their character, citizenship and leadership, as indicated by a Junior Honor Society Candidate Review form submitted to the Faculty Council by faculty members.

·        All students inducted into the National Junior Honor Society will be inducted into the society in a special ceremony in the spring.  New members will be entitled to participate in all activities and projects of the Northport Middle School Chapter.

·        Each student must fill out the application on his/her own.  For further information, please contact Ms. Pellegrino or Ms. Gavin, National Junior Honor Society advisors.
