Those who are inducted into the National Honor Society aren’t just great students but also are great leaders. NHS honors students with great academic skills and a passion for giving back to the community.

The National Honor Society held their induction ceremony on November 22 where 62 students were inducted into the society.

The NHS officers spoke about their roles within the NHS organization followed by a speech from Mr. Aaron Burch about the importance of character and what it means to be a good student. He also described how important it is to reach out to your community and find ways to volunteer.

Principal Hanlon spoke about how proud she was of the NHS members.

Towards the end of the ceremony, Mrs. Durann Ecolano and Ms. Jessica Baker called up the inductees to walk across the stage while biographies about each student and what they are involved in were read.

Candles were lit in honor of the 7 pillars; purpose, scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Grace Nam said, “I feel so honored to be accepted in NHS. It gave me confidence about myself because they chose me based on my skills and experiences. I’m looking forward to improving myself and learning more about NHS.”
