The Japanese National Honor Society (JNHS) recognizes and encourages scholastic achievement and excellent in Japanese study, to unite with teachers and administrators in developing and maintaining high standards of Japanese language education, and to promote altruistic conduct through various activities. The JNHS sponsor schools are recognized and announced in Oshirase and JNHS students receive certificates of excellence and letters of appreciation from JNHS Director, NCJLT.

The Japanese National Honor Society is accepting letters from schools interested in starting a charter. The purpose of this society is to promote interest in Japanese language study and recognize high achievement of Japanese language students of secondary schools. The students must be in the first term of their second year of Japanese with a 3.0 overall G.P.A. and a 3.5 G.P.A. in Japanese in order to be eligible for recognition.

To start a charter, the sponsor must be a member of the National Council of Japanese Language Teachers. The sponsor then needs to send a letter on school stationery along with the $7.50 charter fee made payable to N.C.J.L.T. together with a list eligible students. The student fee of $4.50 per student should be included with the charter request letter. Once a charter has been started, a packet including the constitution of the society, the guidelines for the initiation ceremony and certificates will be sent to the school.

All existing J.N.H.S. groups are required to recharter. A $5.00 recharter fee together with the attached form will be due by the deadline of the JNHS application each year.

Since 2004, we have been offering graduation cords in addtion to pins. Please refer to the application forms for details.

For more information, contact Kazumi Yamashita, JNHS Director, NCJLT, at ncjlt@JapaneseTeaching.org.
