National Junior Honor Society
The National Junior Honor Society at BMSS is an 8th grade club. After the 3rd nine weeks grading period, all 7th grade students with a cumulative GPA above 95% will be invited to apply for NJHS. The faculty board then approves the applications and an invitation to our chapter is sent to the students who will be invited to join. Induction takes place in April.
If you are a new 8th grader at BMSS and can demonstrate proof of being in NJHS at your previous school, this may be honored.

Proper behavior and discipline is required to be accepted and remain a member.
