National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation’s premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929.
Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: “To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools.”
National Junior Classical League
Formed in 1936, the National Junior Classical League (NJCL) is an organization of junior and senior high school students sponsored by theAmerican Classical League. Composed of local and state/provincial chapters across the United States, Canada, and Australia, it is the largest Classical organization in the world today with over 50,000 members. Its purpose is to encourage an interest in and an appreciation of the language, literature and culture of ancient Greece and Rome and to impart an understanding of the debt of our own culture to that of Classical antiquity.[1]
The aim of Caprock’s chapter coincides with the national organization. Membership is reserves for High School students:
- We will gain an active appreciation and understanding of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome, thereby enabling us as individuals to interpret and appraise our world today.
- We have a sound structure which provides a sound basis for expansion of our horizons and perspectives, intellectually, socially, and aesthetically.
- We have a viable organization which can effectively create in others a sense of awareness, interest, and appreciation as far as the value of the Classics is concerned.
