ATTENTION 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Families:
Membership in the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a middle school student. Our chapter strives to give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship
Interboro School District Requirements for NJHS:
Requirements for current 7th graders: In the spring of 2025, seventh grade students can become a member through a local selection process that concludes with induction into the District’s National Junior Honor Society chapter. To receive an application, current 7th grade students will achieve marking period grades of at least 90% in all 6th grade courses (completed during the 23-24 school year) and grades of at least 93% in all 7th grade courses (enrolled in during the 24-25 school year). They must also participate in at least 2 organized clubs or activities, one of which must be through the district. Students are ineligible for academic recognition if they have six or more unexcused absences or latenesses accrued during either school year and/or the student has a Tier 3 or Tier 4 behavioral referral during either school year. Once admitted during the spring of seventh grade, attendance, grades, service, and behavioral commitments must be upheld during 8th grade.
Requirements for current 8th graders: In the spring of 2025, eighth grade students can become an NJHS member through a local selection process that concludes with induction into the District’s National Junior Honor Society chapter. To receive an application, current 8th grade students will achieve marking period grades of at least 90% in all 7th grade courses (completed during the 23-24 school year) and grades of at least 93% in all 8th grade courses (enrolled in during the 24-25 school year). They must also participate in at least 2 organized clubs or activities, one of which must be through the district. Students are ineligible for academic recognition if they have six or more unexcused absences or latenesses accrued during either school year and/or the student has a Tier 3 or Tier 4 behavioral referral during either school year. (Students who are already NJHS members will also need at least 8 school or community volunteer hours to be re-inducted.)
Beginning with students who are in 6th grade in the 2024-2025 school year, students must achieve marking period grades of at least 93% in all courses and meet attendance and behavior expectations to be considered for NJHS in 7th grade.
Please continue to monitor your child’s grades throughout the school year!

Volunteers and Clearances
Safe2Say Something
Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize the warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to “say something” BEFORE it is too late. Each year, students in 6th grade will receive an initial training and students in grades 7-12 will receive a mandatory refresher training on Safe2Say Something.
