NJHS stands for the National Junior Honor Society of Secondary Schools. The purpose of this organization is to promote enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, and to develop character and good citizenship in the students of secondary schools.

Student selection for membership is based on outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate these qualities. Candidates become members when inducted at a special ceremony.
