National Junior Honor Society

The Cathedral School of St. Jude is a member of the National Junior Honor Society.  Every February, the Chapter Advisor compiles a list of all students who are scholastically eligible for membership.  To be scholastically eligible, 7^th and 8^th grade middle school candidates must have a cumulative scholastic average of 90 earned over a period of at least one semester at the Cathedral School of St. Jude. Those eligible for membership will be given an opportunity to complete a Student Activity Information Form.  Those forms will be used to obtain information directly from the student regarding leadership, citizenship, and service activities.  These forms are not, however, to be considered as “applications” for membership.

A five-member Faculty Council, appointed by the Principal, will then meet to select new members.  After discussion, a vote will be taken on each eligible candidate.  A majority vote will determine those who will be offered membership.  The Chapter Advisor does not vote.  The vote will be based on the candidate’s demonstration of outstanding performance in the areas of leadership, service, citizenship and character.  A letter will be mailed to all parents/students regarding those selected.  An induction ceremony will then be planned and conducted.
