The National Honor Society held its annual induction ceremony for new members on Tuesday, February 7.

“Everything at the event went as well as I could have hoped,” senior president Kyle Chy. said “The inductees were celebrated, the speakers were great, and overall the event went smoothly.”

There were 26 students inducted this year. Each received a pin and signed their name into the roll book to become official members.

“I think that being a part of the National Honor Society is important because it helps develop leadership and organizational skills, while also offering many opportunities to give back to our home and school communities,” senior vice president Caroline Doyle said. 

In order to be invited to apply to the NHS students must maintain an overall 4.25 grade point average. To be accepted into the club, students must have community service hours, a leadership position, and receive positive recommendations from the teacher panel.

During the event, the club officers each gave a speech on one of the four core values of the NHS: leadership, scholarship, service, and character.

“Getting to read the speech about service was really exciting for me,” Doyle said. “I was able to write from the heart, and praise our new inductees for their dedication to service, I was nervous at first but being passionate about a topic makes it easier to speak about.”

The students inducted into the NHS exhibit these four traits in our school and community. The event is held to honor these students and thank them for their dedication to the school. 

Every year, the members of the club choose a teacher to speak at the ceremony. This year, English teacher Mrs. Lucia was chosen for her kindness and supportive energy that have helped the students in their time at Law. 

The club is selective in choosing members and the current and new members are very happy to be chosen to be a part of it. 

“I love NHS because it allows everyone to be recognized for their accomplishments while encouraging themselves and others to strive for excellence,” Chy said. “It also allows us the chance to give back through various activities we run like the Brain Bowl which is coming up soon.”

Overall, everyone in attendance was happy with how the night went and hope that in the following years it goes just as well.
