My granddaughter, Emma Katherine Grigson, age 13, was inducted into the National Jr Honor Society on March 2, 2016 through Evangelical Christian School, Memphis, TN. The selection criteria for membership is by outstanding performance in the following areas:
Scholarship -- 92% grade point average.
Service -- voluntary contributions to the school or community with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit.
Leadership -- resourceful, good problem solver, promoter of school activities, idea-contributor, dependable, exemplifies positive attitude about life.
Character -- upholds moral and ethical principles, honesty and reliability, courteous, respect for others, maintains a good and clean lifestyle.
Citizenship -- understands the importance of civic involvement, high regard for freedom, justice, and respect of the American form of government, demonstrates mature participation and responsibility through community involvement.
This honor, recognized throughout the nation, is both the public recognition of accomplishment and the private commitment to continued excellence on the part of the new member.
Selection is a privilege, not a right. Students do not apply for membership; instead, they provide information to be used by the local selection committee to support their candidacy for membership. Membership is granted only to those students selected by the Faculty Council. This is not an election, nor is membership automatically conveyed simply because a student has achieved a specified level of academic performance.

The great-granddaughter of Howard Eurbie and Elsie (Daugherty) Goines;
