"The National Junior Honor Society is the leader among organizations and societies that promote appropriate recognition for students who reflect outstanding accomplishments in the areas of scholarship, character, leadership, citizenship, and service. Thousands of schools are chartered and their chapters are following the constitution.
The National Association of Secondary School Principals believes that NJHS has made a positive difference in the lives of individuals and in the spirit of the community and school. NASSP also commends the principals and advisers in our member schools for their commitment to recognize outstanding student achievement."
