Murdock Middle School proudly honors students each spring with membership in the National Junior Honor Society. Membership in NJHS is a highly deserved recognition for the hard work students put into their schoolwork as well as their willingness to contribute to their community. Several meetings are held throughout the year where business is discussed as well as leadership and teambuilding activities are conducted. Murdock’s Chapter of the NJHS participates in an annual fundraising drive for MDA called “Shamrocks for Muscular Dystrophy”. In addition we collaborate with the Murdock Chapter of the Builders Club to do joint community service projects. Additional leadership opportunities are available for 7th and 8th graders who wish to serve as NJHS officers. After standing for election, these officers are instrumental in the Induction Ceremony and in planning the NJHS end of the year activity.
