Candidates eligible for selection to the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) must have completed the second term of sixth grade or be members of the seventh or eighth grade class.  To be eligible for selection to membership in this chapter, the candidate must have been enrolled for a period equivalent to two terms at St. John School.  Candidates eligible for election to the chapter must have a minimum cumulative average of 90% (equivalent to a grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale).  Upon meeting the grade level, enrollment, and GPA standards, candidates shall then be considered based on their service, leadership, character, and citizenship.  This includes attendance/tardiness and behavioral expectations.  All NJHS students will perform after school tutoring on a regular basis.  If a student falls below a 90% average they will be placed on probation which may eventually result in removal from NJHS.
