On November 19th, twenty-five new members were inducted into the Madison-Plains High School Chapter of the National Honor Society. These new members joined nine second year NHS members. The National Honor Society recognizes students who have set themselves apart from their peers by demonstrating involvement in their community, exemplary service to others, leadership qualities, and a commitment to scholarship.
Students who meet the minimum grade requirement are given an application and asked to apply for membership. This process gives the opportunity to showcase how each student lives up to the standards of NHS. The selection committee then reviews applications, letters of recommendation and references from faculty members. The students selected have put in a lot of work and are joining this organization to work with other students to continue helping their school and community.
NHS President, Sarah Stonerock, opened the ceremony by welcoming guests, the current society members, new inductees, and their family members. Active officers gave speeches about the purposes of the organization and the qualities that members should possess. Officers also read the names of the new inductees and the accomplishments that qualified them for membership. The inductees then took the pledge of induction and became full members of the Madison-Plains Chapter of the National Honor Society.
