Membership
Each chapter sets its own membership selection criteria. Generally, selection is based on five criteria: citizenship, service, pride, scholarship, character. Common requirements include maintaining a high grade point average (the national minimum is a 3.5 or all A's and one B) and becoming good citizens (by participating in service projects). The NJHS requires some sort of school service to the community, school, or other organizations. The projects help students to meet the required monthly service hours.
