Wednesday night was the National Honor Society induction ceremony. While the traditional candlelight service may seem cliche, parents still feel a sense of pride in the fact that their children are a part of it. We know students feel a sense of accomplishment themselves in being a member of this elite society.
National Honor Society is considered to be a prestigious accomplishment due to the fact that an individual needs to maintain a 3.5 un-weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale.
The evening began with the procession of students down the chapel aisle. Once the students took their seats, the ceremony was opened with prayer led by Mrs. Palmer. Then, several returning members read short speeches about the values of the National Honor Society. This was led off by the Vice President Maureen Sleeting. Then the new members were inducted into the group. This was led by President Sarah McIntire, Treasurer Rachel Ward, and Secretary Allison Sleeting. Then, a short pledge was recited and the evening was over almost before it started. In all, the whole ceremony barely lasted 16 minutes.
Congratulations new NHS members!
