National Honor Society Induction

Forty members of the junior class were recently inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS). According to the NHS, “membership has been the true mark of student achievement for over 100 years, but it goes far beyond a report card. By empowering, championing, and recognizing well-rounded students, NHS provides schools with a values-based framework to elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.”
