JHS National English Honor Society

The Johnson HS chapter of the National English Honor Society was established in 2020. The purpose of the chapter is to create enthusiasm for scholarship in English Language Arts, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of Johnson High School.  We strive to promote literacy in our school and community.

NEHS Membership FAQ’s

  • Selection is made by a faculty council based upon scholarship, character, writing samples, and teacher recommendations. Once selected, it is the member’s responsibility to continue to demonstrate these qualities. 

  • Members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes are eligible for selection, once they have completed a year as a Johnson HS student. Candidates must have a minimum cumulative grade point of 3.0 overall and 3.0 in ELA courses in Johnson’s 4.0 point scale. Students who meet the  minimum cumulative GPA may apply in the fall semester.  Eligibility is then considered on character, writing samples, and teacher recommendations.

  • The membership selection process takes place in the first month of the fall semester to be followed by a formal induction ceremony to become an active member.
