NJHS
Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) 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, leadership, service, citizenship, and character—all characteristics of the organization since its beginning in 1929.
The Spanish Fort Middle School chapter of NJHS is a student-run organization. Members participate in community service projects sponsored by the organization, provide collegiality, motivation, and support in the pursuit of the highest of standards.
Brandon Yohn is the sponsor for NJHS.
Applications will open in Second Semester, so check back and pay attention to announcements!

- Grades are due no later than 2 weeks after report cards are mailed home each quarter. You will need to turn in a hardcopy to Mr. Yohn. Emailed submissions will not be accepted.
- Failure to turn in grades (even if you have all A’s) will result in you receiving a Warning Letter. Receiving two warning letters may result in expulsion from NJHS.
- You are responsible for completing at least 3 service hours a quarter. You will need to turn in a hardcopy of the service hour form to Mr. Yohn before the end of the quarter. Emailed submissions will not be accepted. Just like grades. You do not have to wait until the end of the quarter to turn in hours.
- Hours must be completed every quarter. If you do 24 hours in September, you still owe 3 hours for the next quarter.
- If you chose to submit donations as part of your service, you must attach a receipt to the service hour sheet. Placing it in the bag with the donations is not acceptable.
- If you do not submit your service hour sheet you cannot get credit for hours served, and you will receive a warning letter. Receiving two warning letters may result in expulsion from NJHS.
