National Honor Society had their induction ceremony on Nov. 10 to welcome 18 new members to the Warsaw chapter.
This year, there are 34 students in NHS with 18 students inducted and 16 seniors coming back for their second year. All these students have put many hours, hard work, and dedication into school. Being a part of the National Honor Society is a great way for students to show their Service, Leadership, and Character.
Senior Brennen Slavens explained how it’s an honor to be in NHS.
“NHS is a great honor because it’s very limited students and it’s good to represent Warsaw for something like that for a second year,” Slavens said.
This year, seniors Abbey Wilson is the chapter president, and senior Serenity Miller was selected for vice president. To be selected as president or vice president, they must have above a 3.75 GPA, and also have to have good discipline records, character concerns, and good attendance. The students in NHS then vote on who they think the best fit for president and vice president should be.
Wilson was proud to accept this position.
“One of the things I take most pride in this year would have to be being voted as this year’s National Honor Society President. I’m trying to make it better and have us do more things and make NHS more memorable and fun because in previous years we haven’t really done a whole lot for NHS and I want to be that difference and make that change within my chapter. National Honor Society is something I’m truly passionate about and I am helping people and trying to make that change here in my chapter as president,” Wilson said
NHS stands as a beacon of intellectual rigor, a celebration of service, a paragon of leadership, and a champion of character. The students inducted represent the four pillars of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. To be welcomed into NHS, a student must be in the 11th or 12th grade, have a 3.5 or higher GPA, and pass a review process where discipline records, character concerns, and attendance is evaluated.
NHS advisor Daniel Waller explained what he likes about this year’s NHS group.
“I like sitting back and watching my leaders take charge of the group. It’s also fun to see the kids who have obviously never served or waited tables serve at the Benton County Historical Society’s supper every year,” Waller said.
