National Junior Honor Society

  • The National Junior Honor Society is based on the five pillars of scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship. In order to be eligible for the Wellington Landings Middle School chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, all of the following conditions must be met.

    1. Scholarship: Students must have a grade point average of 3.67 or higher for the first three quarters of 7th grade. Members will be expected to maintain this grade point average at all times during membership.
    2. Service: Students must have at least 5 hours of documented service within the community. This service must be performed without any compensation. Service that is part of the requirements of a class here at WLMS would not count as community service. The student will be required to write about his/her particular role in this service during the application process. Please note that service may not be documented by a family member. Documentation logs are provided so that service can be documented throughout the year beginning in June of 2024.
    3. Leadership: Students must display their leadership skills by being involved within the school community. This involvement must include time spent outside of normal school hours, and not a part of the requirements of an elective class, by either being a part of a WLMS sports team, being a part of a WLMS after school club, or providing volunteer service at WLMS such as being a Gator Guide.
    4. Character: Students are expected to be exemplary role models at school and within the community. They will be required to get signatures from all of their teachers as part of the application process.
    5. Citizenship: Students must have conduct codes of all level 4s on the first three report cards in 7th grade. They are expected to be in dress code every day and have no detentions, suspensions or discipline referrals during the first three quarters of seventh grade.

    Only 7th grade students are eligible to apply. If a 7th grade student meets all eligibility requirements, they will be invited to apply to the WLMS National Junior Honor Society no later than April 4, 2025. Completed applications will be due by 12:00 pm on April 17th, and by April 21st, students will be notified if they have been chosen. Absolutely no late applications will be accepted.

    Being a member of the National Junior Honor Society is a commitment. Members will be expected to attend mandatory monthly meetings. If you foresee a conflict between NJHS and any other outside activity, please carefully consider your application.
