Lewis' chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is sponsored by Mrs. Sondra Singleton, Mr. Payne and Mr. Donaldson  Students from grades 6 to 8 are invited to join.  An Induction Ceremony is scheduled each spring to welcome incoming NJHS members.  Active members must maintain their A/B average to stay a member of  the chapter.  New candidates are required to do 5 hours of community service as well as meet the academic qualifications. 

NJHS is more than just an honor roll.  The Honor Society chapter establishes rules for membership that are based upon a student's outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service character and citizenship.

Scholarship:  Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 85 percent, B, 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) meet the scholarship requirement for membership. These students are then eligible for consideration on the basis of service, leadership, character, and citizenship.

Service: This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit.

Leadership: Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea-contributors, dependable, and persons who exemplify positive attitudes about life. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.

Character: The student of good character upholds principles of morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others, and generally maintains a good and clean lifestyle.

Citizenship: The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic involvement, has a high regard for freedom, justice, and democracy, and demonstrates mature participation and responsibility through involvement with such activities as scouting, community organizations, and school clubs.
