| 2017 Inductees to the DRSS Chapter of National Honor Society |
By Shivani Selvam
With more than four events taking place each year, National Honor Society (NHS)
began 2017 with a great kick off to the year. On January 19th,
students who were recently inducted into NHS attended a ceremony to be formally inducted.
The ceremony took place at the Dayton Regional STEM School. Students celebrated the ceremony with their family and friends, and by signing
a book committing them to following the mission and rules of NHS. Towards the
end of the ceremony they received a certificate commemorating their acceptance.
National Honor Society is a national organization whose students commit to helping out their local community. NHS members are
very involved in their school and community. Students inducted into NHS have
demonstrated exemplary skills in the categories of scholarship, leadership,
service, and character. Juniors and seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or
higher are eligible to apply.
Mrs. Camden, the NHS advisor, remarked upon the stipulations for membership, explaining, “Members
of NHS demonstrate exemplary skills in scholarship, character, service, and
leadership. These students continuously uphold these characteristics and
serve as leaders in school and in the community. Members meet at a
minimum once a month – more often when they have specific projects that they
are working on.”
Membership in
NHS is both an honor and a commitment. It is this commitment that has helped
shape the Honor Society’s reputation for excellence, making it a valued asset
among administrators, faculty members, students, parents, and communities.
The following students were inducted at the ceremony:
Amin Ashraf, Jessica Blankenship, Gloria Campos, Stephanie Cooper, Lauren Dalton, Chloe Johnson, Katie Jones, Adam Mitchell, Zayneb Moumkine, Bendic Pacia, Adya Panchal, Brianna Perkins, Christian Peters, Anjali Phadke, Maya Quale, Zeke Reichert, Kathleen Saine, Rachel Sax, Pooja Shirahatti, Rachael Stowe, Nicole Sword, Devin Wade, and Connor Weaver.
This is an exciting time for NHS members as they
embark on new initiatives designed to further support students in their quest
to uphold the values that earned them their selection. These initiatives will allow
student members the opportunity to engage in activities that extend far beyond
their local communities. Students will be proud to identify themselves as a
member of the National Honor Society.
