National Junior Honor Society

Members of Visitation Academy Pope France National Junior Honor Society are dedicated to the following five pillars:

I. Scholarship  Students must have an A in all subjects to be invited to join the Honor Society and must maintain an A in all subjects to remain a member in good standing

II. Service   This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community,
done without compensation.

III. Leadership   Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea
contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community
activities while working with or for others.

IV. Character  The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and  maintains a clean disciplinary record.

V. Citizenship  The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic engagement; has a high regard for freedom and justice; respects the U.S. form of government; respects the law for all citizens at the local, state, and federal levels; and demonstrates mature participation and responsibility in activities such as scouting, community organizations, or school clubs.

New members are chosen in the fall based on the previous year’s academic
record. The induction ceremony typically takes place in during Catholic Schools
Week.  Members meet monthly, and volunteer at a variety of Visitation Academy
and community events.

NJHS BY LAWS

The National Junior Honor Society participated in a WALK-A-THON to raise funds for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Visitation families have been donating and have raised over $2,500 to date for their service project.

This year, the NJHS raised $160.00 in support of the United Nations World Food Program. The letter from the UNWFP agency read:   

Thank you so much for the generosity you showed today with your gift to World Food Program USA. Your support helps us enable the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to act swiftly in times of crisis, delivering lifesaving food and other assistance to communities affected by conflict, climate shocks, and economic shocks. We won’t stop until every person has the food they need to thrive. We couldn't do our work without the kindness of incredible partners like you.
With gratitude, Erin from Donor Support. (https://www.wfpusa.org/) 

We are very proud of Visitation Academy students and their continuing dedication to the service of others in accordance with our Gospel teachings.
