Jonathan Law’s National English Honor Society (NEHS) and Quill and Scroll Honor Society recently held their induction ceremonies.

NEHS and Quill and Scroll have provided students with opportunities to engage in reading, writing, and journalism. These organizations not only recognize academic achievement but also encourage students to use their skills to give back to the community.

NEHS, in its first year at Law, has already made an impact.

“This year, the NEHS organized a Book Drive in the fall,” English teacher and NEHS Advisor Mrs. Lucia said. “We donated a few boxes of books to the Beth El shelter as a result of the donations from people here at Law.”

In addition to the book drive, NEHS members will visit local elementary schools this spring as “Guest Readers” to promote literacy among younger students. The organization also encourages creative writing and participation in contests, with plans to expand its activities next year.

“This was our first year, and there is so much the organization offers that we needed this year to see what would fit with our community here at Law,” senior Julia Ryan added.

Quill and Scroll, an International Honor Society for high school journalists, continues to support student reporters at Law.

“Quill and Scroll provides opportunities for students to engage with journalism beyond the classroom by offering contests and scholarships,” Journalism teacher and Quill and Scroll Advisor Mr. Kulenych said. “It’s a platform that recognizes and supports young journalists, fostering their skills and passion for journalism.”

The society recognizes and fosters young journalists by providing them with resources, competitions, and networking opportunities. Students who have completed Journalism 1 and rank in the top 25% of their class are eligible for induction into Quill and Scroll, further motivating them to excel in journalism.

“Being part of Quill and Scroll gives us a chance to take journalism more seriously and get recognized for our work,” senior Cesar Mendez said. “It’s great to have a community that supports student writers and reporters.”

Both NEHS and Quill and Scroll offer students the chance to refine their writing skills while making a difference in their community. Whether through storytelling, reporting, or service projects, these organizations continue to strengthen literacy and journalism at Law.
