The National Math Honor Society held their annual induction ceremony on Thursday, December 1.

The NMHS hosts activities for Pi day and April Math Month. Members also volunteer at Law’s Extended Learning Program which held after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

“Mu Alpha Theta is a mathematics honor society available to students who excel in their math courses,” math teacher and NMHS advisor Mr. Ruzbarsky said. “The purpose of Mu Alpha Theta is to spark interest and discussion around mathematics and spread that interest to others.”

NMHS members are able to help other students who struggle with math.

“Throughout the year, the NMHS tutors students in math after school at the ELP on Tuesdays and Thursdays,” senior NMHS senior president Aislinn Burns said. “We also run activities for April Math Month and Pi day.” 

Students decided to join the NMHS because they enjoy learning math. 

“I decided to join the National Math Honor Society because math is something that I enjoy and strive for success in,” senior Macie Rascoll said. “I like being a part of a group of students that feels the same way.”

Students join the NMHS to be able to encourage math within the school.  

“I decided to join NMHS because I’ve always enjoyed math and wanted to go further with my learning around other people that enjoy it,” junior Isabelle Masselli said. “I also wanted to encourage math within the school community, whether that be helping other students with math or even just arranging fun math-related activities.”

Sophomore Madelyn Baranosky is happy she joined NMHS.

“I joined the National Math Honor Society because I have an interest in math and I enjoy it, and I want to encourage other students to enjoy and learn more about math,” Baranowsky said.
