NJHS Induction Requirements:

NJHS is an 8th grade organization consisting of students who achieved a raw cumulative average of 95 during the first five six weeks of their seventh grade year. Raw scores refer to the actual grade earned without rounding up. All CISD campus' with NJHS abide by the same guidelines. When figuring cumulative scores, there will not be any weighting of averages due to higher level math or science classes. All students should be working on their ability level. Students transferring into CISD who have already been inducted into NJHS will be considered members if they provide a copy of their induction certificate.
