Law’s eight Honor Societies celebrated the induction of their new members on March 3.

This year, the honor societies held a combined ceremony instead of separate ones, resulting in a smooth and efficient event. 

Law Spanish teacher Mr. McPartland was the keynote speaker at this year’s ceremony and felt it went successfully.

“It was great to see so many students being recognized for their hard work and dedication across different subject areas,” McPartland said. “I also appreciated that we were able to honor every student in a timely and organized way while still making the event feel meaningful.”

Honors societies are a great way to become further educated on specific subjects alongside other Law students who share the same interests.

Math, English, and Latin Honor Society president Fiorella Gargiulo said joining honor societies has positively impacted her high school experience.

“Joining honor societies means having more opportunity to connect with like-minded students in subjects you’re passionate about,” Gargiulo said. “I have become a more engaged student throughout my time in each honor society.”

Being an active member of an honor society comes with many responsibilities, but also leads to exciting activities and events. 

Senior Science National Honor Society President Charlotte Baldieri explained that she enjoys the balance of seriousness and fun in their meetings.

“I like that we have fun and serious meetings,” Baldieri said. “We host activities like slime and science challenges, but also have a final presentation.”

A major role of honor societies is hosting school-wide events that benefit the community while also educating others about the subjects they are passionate about.

National English Honor Society Vice President Nadia Nuzzo said the NEHS has been working on several events this school year.

“An upcoming event we have been working on is opening a little library outside of our school for all who walk by,” Nuzzo said. “We plan to use the money we have raised from fundraising to afford our library, and the books we have received as donations to fill our library.”

French Honor Society is one of the three language honor societies that Law offers. 

French Club president and active French Honor Society member Delaney Hanley said that French culture inspired her to join the society.

“I joined because I am interested in learning about the French language and culture, so I have taken steps throughout my high school career to deepen that interest – joining and taking on leadership roles in the French club, and being a part of the French Honor Society,” Hanley said.
