NJHS Application - Stillwater Area Schools

Dear NJHS applicant:
I am pleased that you are interested in joining NJHS. Please remember, while
admittance to NJHS is certainly an honor and an accomplishment, NJHS is a service
based organization. By applying, you are acknowledging your desire to serve the needs
of the school, community and the world as a whole. If accepted, you will be expected to
participate in NJHS activities to the best of your ability.
Please complete the following application. Once your application is complete, place it in
an 8.5x11 envelope and place your name on the outside of the envelope.
Many of you are not only talented and accomplished, but also humble. Please
recognize it is this application alone that will determine acceptance or denial. Be honest
and proud of your accomplishments. Think through your responses to ensure you donʼt
miss anything.
Finally, please include a check for $15, made out to Oak-Land Junior High, with “NJHS
annual dues” in the memo line. Your check will not be cashed until all applications are
evaluated and you are notified of your status. If you are denied admittance, your check
will be returned to you.
It is my goal to have the committee evaluate all applications and have a response to all
applicants prior to Education Minnesota Weekend if possible.
Congratulations on your fine academic standing, and good luck in the application
process.
Sincerely,
Mr. Rau
NJHS advisor
