Heritage Middle School Celebrates National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony

Heritage Middle School inducted 43 scholars into the Vincent E. Hufford Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society on May 30, 2018. Many of the current 58 members were on hand to welcome their peers into the prestigious group. The advisor for the National Junior Honor Society at Heritage Middle School is Mrs. Tara Lapierre.

The National Junior Honor Society is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929.

Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in official Honor Society activities. NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
