NJHS--

If a school has NJHS, notice for application, or however the school does it, should have already gone out, as we're in October already. It's possible your school doesn't have a chapter--not all do. Reid has said to principals that it's a priority that every school has a chapter, but I don't know where all middle schools are with that recommendation.

Our school has a chapter but no communication as to when notices go out. It's also unclear who qualifies since it's unclear how they convert the GPA. Do they look at service hours in 7th grade?

No they don’t look at service hours.

What is unclear about GPA? Usually it’s 3.7 or higher.

So if you have straight As and one B+, you should be in that threshold. No notice.

Email the counselor to ask who is sponsoring NJHS this year. And then send an email to them.

It’s possible your kid didn’t tell you about it. They got letters in class last year during advisory.

If you say what school, maybe we can figure it out.

When is the expectation to hear anything?

Instead of posting on a message board, waiting and wondering about notification, email your child’s counselor to ask about it. JFC.

It seems like your school not in the NJHS Chapter...

Can someone explain the application process? You get invited but then you still need to apply?? What should a student show in their application?
