Membership

Membership is by invitation only and is an honor and a privilege to be apart of. Academics, leadership, and citizenship will all be considered. Invitations of membership are extended to incoming 8th graders at Pflugerville Middle School, who have successfully attained an 90% or better average for four consecutive six weeks grading periods in standard curriculum classes. The potential NJHS member completes the application packet. A selection committee reviews the packet along with teacher surveys and approved students are invited to attend the induction ceremony. Students may not have served time in ISS, been suspended from school, or have been truant from school. Once a student is inducted into the National Junior Honor Society they must:

Maintain a GPA of 90% or better each six weeks.
Complete at least two community service projects (either in school or out of school) per semester.
Maintain appropriate citizenship and leadership standards recognized by this national organization.
Participate in monthly meetings according to the by laws of the PMS NJHS constitution.

If a NJHS member has not met these qualifications, they will be put on probation or dismissed from the organization, according to the constitutional by-laws. Any questions about the National Junior Honor Society should be addressed with the sponsor.
