Selection Process

The 5 member faculty council (the NJHS adviser is NOT a member of this council) receives all applications, without the applicants names, they only have a number. They rate each section individually and then meet as a council to review these ratings. The council does not know which have applied or which students they have selected until the entire process is complete. Students are then notified, by mail, if they have been selected.
