On Tuesday November 12th a group of juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS). The ceremony started with the NHS officers lighting candles which represent the four pillars of the NHS.

 President Brock Rochow lit the candle of leadership and followed with a speech expanding on how members of the NHS will demonstrate great leadership throughout community involvement and individual experiences.

Next was vice president Ethan Bradley who lit the candle of service. Bradley spoke about how our services will have a great impact on the community through drives and fundraisers. 

Secretary Ethan Monaghan lit the candle of scholarship and talked about how being a good scholar is a difficult task when juggling extra curricular activities, but he explained that being a good scholar isn’t just about the grades, but also being a positive and inspiring role model. 

Lastly, was treasurer Xavier Curtis who lit the candle of character. Curtis noted that after having experience in the NHS it changes a person’s character for the better. 

Junior JayLee Chapman originally joined NHS because it would look good on her resume. However, after being inducted and volunteering at the local outreach she is looking forward to helping her community. 

“I’m looking forward to volunteering with some of my friends and enjoying the time with them,” Chapman said. 

Grant Howlett was another junior inducted into the NHS who joined to help him be a more successful student. He hopes that NHS will make him more responsible as he completes his service hours.

“I’m looking forward to the service hours, hanging out, and having fun,” Howlett said. 

Returning members are just as excited for the opportunity to give back to their community. Senior Logan Hollenbeck recalls his favorite moment of his service last year. 

“I really liked helping out with the blood drive,” Hollenbeck said. “We were able to work together to pull off an event that helped save people’s lives.”
