On Sept. 27, National Honor Society held the annual induction ceremony. During this ceremony, the new NHS members were recognized. To be part of NHS, students have to maintain a 3.5 GPA and write a paragraph about why they should be selected for NHS. The teachers also had a vote on who is able to be in NHS.
“[The NHS ceremony] is a tradition and it reminds the students and parents what the values of being in NHS are,” NHS sponsor Chris Bellar said. “It is nice to have a social event with food sometimes. It helps communicate our values.”
A big part of the NHS induction ceremony was recognizing the four pillars: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. Being in NHS gives students the opportunity to showcase these traits.
Senior Olivia Lange and junior Brooke Beck were in charge of setting up the induction ceremony. This also counts as their NHS service project.
“[The most challenging part of setting up the ceremony was] finding the time to set up and get the food prepared,” Lange said.
After the induction ceremony, everyone attending was able to enjoy a potluck.
Another big part about being in NHS are the required service projects. In the past, NHS members have done donut fundraisers, blood drives, and Pennies for Patients.
“[I’m looking forward to] doing service projects and helping people,” junior Raylee Chitwood said.
Members include:
Seniors- Grace Bender, Natalie Doffing, Kevin Ebenkamp, Melissa Ebenkamp, Alex Hekel, Riley Johnsen, Brayden Kunz, Olivia Lange, Janel Meyer, Haylee Osner, Mya Scott, Kirsten Whitney and Julia Zoglmann
Juniors- Brooke Beck, Raylee Chitwood, Cooper Koster, Addie Pauly and Isaac Winter
