West Rocks NJHS Chapter Wins National Award

For its exemplary record of leadership, service and efforts to improve the school and community, the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) awarded West Rocks Middle School the Chapter of Distinction award.

NJHS is supported by its parent organization, the National Principals Association (NPA), which also oversees the National Association of Student Councils.

"The NJHS Chapter of Distinction Award celebrates chapters that truly embody what the National Junior Honor Society stands for—students who don't just excel academically but actively strengthen their communities," said NPA CEO Ronn Nozoe. "The West Rocks chapter demonstrates how powerful it can be when young leaders channel their talents toward meaningful service and positive change."

"This is a proud moment for our students, their adviser, Ms. Sheiree Powell, and our entire school community," said Principal Adam Reynolds.

The NJHS Chapters of Distinction is a national recognition program created by NJHS to honor chapters that demonstrate strong leadership, sound operations and a deep commitment to the pillars of the Honor Society. This distinction recognizes chapters that meet all Essential Standards and excel in key areas such as student governance and leadership development.
