Selection and membership for the National Junior Honor Society at Leesville Road Middle School is based upon five principles: character, citizenship, service, leadership, and scholarship. Membership, however, is more than an honor. It is an ongoing responsibility and an obligation to continue to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that result in a student’s selection. Membership also carries a responsibility to the chapter.

Students apply at the end of their 7th grade year and are inducted into NJHS in the Fall for their 8th grade year.
