Saint Benedict Catholic School participates in the

Junior National Honor Society.


The purpose of this organization is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage good citizenship in the students of secondary schools.

NJHS is:

  1. a co-curricular activity that actively supports the educational goals of the school.

  2. a national recognition program established in 1929 by NASSP and currently found in public and private schools in every state as well as in schools in more than 70 countries overseas

  3. an opportunity to involve chapter members in significant learning experiences, especially in the area of service.

  4. inclusive-open to all students who choose to apply themselves and consequently meet the five established criteria of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character

  5. a chance for the faculty to bestow membership (through the actions of the faculty council/selection committee); this membership is a privilege for, not a right of students

  6. a program with national guidelines linked with opportunity for significant local input to reflect local educational standards

  7. a program for all middle level schools
