Established in 1929, the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) seeks to recognize outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS recognizes students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship. These five characteristics or "pillars" have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1929.
Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS (High School) and NJHS (Middle School). NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Membership in the Crossroads Chapter not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school and community service.
