Forty-four students were inducted into the High School's chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) during the chapter's 66th annual ceremony held on Oct. 29.
NHS is one of the oldest, largest, and most widely recognized co-curricular student organizations in American high schools, with 1.4 million members. Its purpose is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to recognize outstanding students, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop student character. Membership in a local chapter is an honor bestowed upon a student based on the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, character, leadership and service. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate these qualities.
“This year’s cohort of students is particularly qualified to take on the responsibility of National Honor Society membership,” said Advisor Emily Ruffino. “We hope that those selected will continue to grow and represent our school through their scholarship, their service to the school and community, their leadership in both formal and informal capacities, and their character as they navigate the challenges of high school.”
