the opportunity to join the club(s) of their choice.
Builder’s Club
Linda Sawyer, Sponsor – Participants are involved in several
community service projects, with special emphasis at the holidays.
National Junior Honor Society
Cynthia Cochran, Sponsor - The National Junior Honor Society
(NJHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize
outstanding middle school level students. More than just an honor
roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated
excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character
and Citizenship. These characteristics have been associated with
membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929.
HRA’s chapter was established in the spring of 2004 and members
were inducted for the first time in April 2005. During the school
year, our NJHS chapter operates as a service club, assisting the
school community as well as the wider Peninula community. The second
class of students was inducted in April 2006. This organization
is student-run by a strong group of committed 8th and 9th graders.
