How Do I Join?

To become a member of the Stewart Middle School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, you must be invited. When we come back after Christmas break. The GPA’s of all 6^th and 7^th graders will be pulled. Any student that has over a 3.0 GPA will be invited to attend an informational meeting with Mrs. Jeffcott and the faculty council. If a student is interested in joining, all they have to do is turn in an application. Inductions are held in April.

Community Service

Is described as an event or task that you do not get paid for. This includes volunteering, doing yard work, or any service outside of your regular duties. If a student performs an IN SCHOOL service project, it does not have to be recorded. Any other community service project must be written on the Community Service Hours Sheet. Parents may not be the supervising adult for a community service projects.
