Honors & Awards

Maranatha formally recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, leadership, and who have a servant's heart.

We celebrate the hard work and Christ-like character of our students through things like quarterly honor rolls, academic trophies, and National Junior Honor Society recognition.

National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)

The National Junior Honor Society—the nation's premier organization for recognizing outstanding middle-level students—honors students with a 3.5+ GPA who demonstrate exceptional service, leadership, and character.

Community Service Awards

We honor students who go above and beyond the required service hours.

Students earn a certificate for 200 hours and a Community Service Letter for 300 or more hours.

This prestigious trophy is awarded to one boy and one girl in Grade 5–6 and one boy/girl in Grade 7–8.

These students are voted on by their peers and faculty for demonstrating Christ-like behavior, kindness, and for having a true servant's heart.
