• CALIFORNIA JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION: 2023 - 2024
•  
• California Junior Scholarship Federation, (CJSF) is a statewide organization with over 600 chapters. The purpose is to foster high standards of scholarship and citizenship on the part of California’s Middle School students.
• 
  Las Colinas 7th and 8th grade students apply for membership in CJSF each quarter. Membership is based on grades earned in the students’ four core classes (Math, English, History, and Science) during the previous quarter. A grade of D or F earned in any subject (including P.E. and/or Elective) automatically debars a student from membership. Students reapply every quarter to be an active member. See the CJSF application for more information.
•  
• Students must also perform ten service hours each year. Five of the service hours can be helping friends or family, and five service hours must be helping within the community. A student can perform a maximum of five service hours helping a friend or family, or they can perform all their service hours helping in the community. See the CJSF application for more information.
• 
  Students who are members of CJSF for seven of the eight quarters in 7th and 8th grades earn Honors status at the end of their eighth grade year. This entitles a student to preferential seating at the Promotion Ceremony in June, receipt of the official Honor Membership pin, a CJSF certificate and a lunch.

          Seventh Grade Students will go to Room C1 and Eighth will go to Room D5.
