Congratulations to all of our newest members of the National Junior Honor Society. This year WLMS inducted 48 students, up from 32 last school year. I want to thank Ms. Deforge and Ms. Baldwin for organizing this wonderful ceremony and serving as the sponsors for this wonderful group of students. In addition, I want to thank all of the staff members and parents who were able to attend the ceremony this past Thursday evening. We are very proud of these students and their accomplishments.
What is the National Junior Honor Society?
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation's premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS and NJHS. NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
