The National Junior Honor Society is an honor bestowed on middle school students at Hendricks Day School. The honor denotes much more than just an honor roll student. Many characteristics have been associated with the standards of this organization since the inception of NJHS in the early 1900's.

To be eligible HDS students must meet and maintain the highest levels of academic achievement - a 3.5 GPA. Eligible candidates will be reviewed by the Faculty Council of HDS.

If accepted by the Faculty Council, the candidate will be formally inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. To be a member of the NJHS is to be recognized as a leader within the community, an achiever of academic excellence, and a role model of citizenship and sincere character.

Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, and Citizenship: These are the prestigious values of all members of the Hendricks Day School National Junior Honor Society. High schools are very impressed with students who have been awarded NJHS status. It is an award for which all students should strive.

Hendricks Day School is fortunate to have many students who are eligible for this prestigious recognition.
