Wall Intermediate School Chapter

The Wall Intermediate School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is built upon the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. Our mission is to inspire students to achieve academic excellence, develop strong leadership skills, serve others with compassion, and grow into responsible young citizens.

• English Language Arts (4 grades each year)

• Math (4 grades each year)

• Science (2–4 grades each year, depending on placement)

• Social Studies (2–4 grades each year, depending on placement)

• Current 6th grade students must maintain a 95 non-rounded average.

Club Activities & Service

NJHS members at Wall Intermediate School are active leaders both within the school and in the community. Throughout the year, students participate in school-wide service projects and extend their commitment to service beyond the classroom.

Past initiatives have included:

• Food drives to support local food banks
