1. The minimum requirements for receiving an invitation to join NJHS to be in the top 15% based on over-all grade average at the end of the 5th 6wks and no disciplinary write-ups.   A list of qualified (7th graders) for the next school year is generated, generally by the end of the (5th 6 Weeks).  We notify these students of their status and invite them to an informational meeting. 
2. At the informational meeting, the application process is explained, including how to fill out the form and the deadlines involved in the process.  
3. Once students have submitted their activity forms, the forms are then numbered and the top identification sheets are removed. The forms are then evaluated anonymously by the NHS faculty council.  In addition,  students seeking induction send out at least two referral requests to our faculty for recommendations.   These serve to assist primarily with anyone who could be on the bubble either way.  
4. Once the committee has met and made their recommendations, identification sheets are reattached to activity forms and letters of acceptance or non-selection are filled out and delivered.  Activity forms from students who are not selected are kept on file for a period of one year in case parents or students would like further explanation as to why they were not selected. 
5. Students who are selected for membership submit a written consent form either accepting or declining admission.
6. Induction is held on Tuesday, May 23rd at 7:30am in the AMS cafetorium.   A small reception will be held after the ceremony.
