Leota Junior High proudly honors students each spring with membership in the National Junior Honor Society. Membership in NJHS is a highly deserved recognition for the hard work students put into their schoolwork as well as their willingness to contribute to their community. Several meetings are held in the fall during "Pride" to acquaint students with the NJHS guidelines and are then followed in the spring with a formal Induction Ceremony. Additional leadership opportunities are available for 9th graders who wish to serve as NJHS officers. After standing for election, these officers are instrumental in the Induction Ceremony and in planning the NJHS end of the year activity.
