Three new members were inducted into the Tekonsha Chapter of the National Honor Society during a special ceremony on Monday, November 25. Sophomore Aundrea Gay, Junior Barric Groholske, and Senior Elise Willison were all selected for membership. Current NHS member Preston Pombier led the program, explaining to be considered for membership, students needed to meet the minimum academic criteria of a cumulative 3.5 grade point average (GPA) as a sophomore, 3.3 GPA as a junior, or 3.0 GPA as a senior. Other current members include Vayda Nyland, Emma Rigel, Lena Halbert, and Reagan Henry. These members then each spoke to explain in more detail the four pillars of NHS - scholarship, service, character, and leadership. The new members took the NHS pledge and then lit the ceremonial candles. The program ended with Superintendent Mrs. O'Keefe giving some closing remarks.
Students in the National Honor Society must complete a minimum of 25 community service hours throughout the year. Examples of community service have included volunteering at the fall festival, helping with the community Christmas baskets, helping with elementary field day, and more!
