National Junior Honor Society
National Junior Honor Society, or NJHS is a worldwide organization that consists of many chapters in middle schools (grades 6-8), recruiting only the high achieving students of those schools. In order to be in the NJHS, one has to apply and one's application will be sent to NJHS, where that student will be evaluated by the five values of citizenship, service, leadership, scholarship and character. They may also be recommended by school administrators. They must maintain a high grade point average (usually must have a 3.0 the entire previous year and a 3.5 to stay in) and become good citizens (by participating in service projects). The NJHS requires some sort of non-profit service to the community, school, or other organizations. The projects help students meet the required service hour total monthly. Most NJHS chapters require a minimum of 5 hours a month.

The Goal of the Organization
The society was formed to recognize outstanding junior high school students. It recognizes students according to five characteristics: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship.
Students are initiated into NJHS in a ceremony that usually involves the singing of the national anthem, speeches, dim lights, classical music, and candles.
It is also used as a way to encourage students to participate in community service, requiring a certain number of hours in order for students to stay in the society. Many times, NJHS works in conjunction with a school's Key Club.
Candles
The NJHS has candles for every aspect of its requirements. A different colored candle is lit for either; Character, Citizenship, Leadership, Service, and Scholarship. A speech is given for each topic, usually done by a group of specially selected students, to describe what each topic is about.
