The New London Chapter of the NJHS is part of a national organization that fosters the National Honor Society's purposes of recognizing and building scholarship, service, leadership, and character within its members. Scholarship is determined by academic average and pride in the pursuit of knowledge.
Service encompasses the concern for each other, the community, the nation, and the world.
Leadership involves the willingness to accept responsibility and to participate in bettering what is and what will be by working with others. Character is looking within ourselves to explore and elevate personal goals and commitments. A faculty council serves as a selection and review board in order to determine membership. Active members must maintain the standards of selection and meet other obligations established by the chapter. New London's chapter consists of two faculty advisors, four officers who are chosen yearly from the active members and the members themselves.
