|  | Middle school offers students the opportunity to become involved in student government through Student Council. National Junior Honor Society is available to those who qualify academically and students wishing to have additional community service opportunities can join the Builders Club.
Students in grades six through eight can participate in team sports through the athletic program and varsity athletes help coach the grade four and five intramurals. Students in grade eight can volunteer as chapel helpers for pre kindergarten and kindergarten students, and as acolytes for chapel services. Learning extends beyond the classroom with field trips and service projects.
Students are encouraged to get involved in activities outside of the classroom, but are cautioned not to overextend themselves as homework expectations increase during middle school.
National Junior Honor Society
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a national honor organization dedicated to recognizing and promoting enthusiasm for scholarship, a desire to provide service to others, excellent citizenship and character, and emerging leadership skills among junior high (grade’s seven and eight at All Saints’) students. The All Saints’ chapter of NJHS was begun in 1986 with the primary purpose of service to others through work and action, and it remains an integral part of our school. Minimum eligibility requirements are set by the national organization, but local chapters create their own bylaws and specific eligibility requirements following the guidelines of the national organization. In this way, chapters can reflect the uniqueness of the School and student body.
Induction into NJHS for students in grades seven and eight occurs after the end of the first semester. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 9.5 and have an exemplary conduct, effort, and discipline record in order to be considered for membership.
