Whitman-Hanson Regional High School Inducts 92 Students Into National Honor Society

WHITMAN — Superintendent Jeffrey Szymaniak and Whitman-Hanson Regional High School Principal Dr. Christopher Jones are pleased to announce that 92 Whitman-Hanson high school students were inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS) at an induction ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 5.

At the ceremony, Dr. Jones gave welcome remarks, NHS President Chloe Wilson led the Pledge of Allegiance and English teacher Amy Medeiros was presented as the honorary faculty inductee. NHS student leadership then spoke about each of the society’s pillars – leadership, scholarship, character and service – before the new inductees participated in the traditional candle-lighting ceremony.

The ceremony was followed by a light reception that took place in the high school library.

NHS recognizes students who show outstanding qualities in scholarship, character, leadership and community service. Whitman-Hanson juniors and seniors who have an unweighted cumulative GPA of at least 3.3 or a weighted cumulative GPA of at least 4.3 are given a letter of invitation and an application for membership.

Students must also demonstrate leadership qualities in school or in the community, a commitment to service and outstanding character, conduct and attitude. Candidates are then selected for membership by a faculty council.

Once Whitman-Hanson students are inducted into the NHS, they must maintain their academic standing, continue to exhibit exemplary character and participate in at least 20 hours of service activities each semester.

“We were excited to induct such a large group of outstanding students at this year’s ceremony,” Dr. Jones said. “These students work hard and show a dedication to their academics and community and their membership in NHS demonstrates their commitment to continue to grow as students and leaders. They should each be immensely proud of their achievements.”

The 2019 Whitman-Hanson National Honor Society inductees are as follows:

Nathaniel Amado, Matthew Avery, Emma Bagge, Julia Benvie, Alexis Billings, Christopher Blackman, Victoria Bortolotto, Payton Bourgelas, Julie Buckley, Olivia Chase, Abigail Cleary, Peyton Collins, Emily Concannon, Alexis Connolly, Eve Cox, Emma Daley, Adam Danicki, Taylor Dearth, Abigail DeLory, Michael Doucette, Cali Eddy, Hayley Ferguson, Rachel Finch, Allison Gallahue, Gabrielle Gillan, Lily Glover, Tyler Godbout, Owen Golden, Ayah-Kawkab Haboub, Christian Hall, Rylie Harlow, Bridget Hickey, Samantha Higgins, Jacob Hill, Samantha Hurley, Alyssa Invernizzi, Alyssa Kalp, Theophilos Kamperides, Michael King, Divya Kumar, Ethan Lenihan, Cameron Lindsay, Timothy Long, Halle Loring, Delanie MacDonald, Aidan MacKay, Emma Markowski, Sarah McClymont, Emily McDonald, Zachary McKee, Bryan Meade, Monika Mendes, Adam Milewski, Aidan Miller, Hailey Minicucci, Lucas Mitton, Kathryn Mulligan, Jason Murphy, Savannah Murphy, Avery Murray, Madeline Nagle, Margaret Newcomb, Abigail Newman, Brooke Nisby, Lucy Nixon, Eve Ó Broin, Aiden O’Brien, Nathaniel O’Brien, Emma Perkins, Sofia Petrus, Savannah Poirier, William Polito, Cullen Poth, Emma Rogers, Nora Rooney, Jennifer Ryan, Madison Savicke, Madison Scaccia, Sydney Scott, Alex Shea, Christina Short, Catherine Stetson, Makayla Sturgeon, Katelyn Sweeney, Gabriella Tchourilkova, Erin Tilley, Dominic Uva, Reed Watson, Anna Williams, Kevin Willis, Erin Wood and Cezar Zurita.

Medway High School Inducts 52 Students Into National Honor Society

MEDWAY — Superintendent Armand Pires and Medway High School Principal Dr. John Murray are pleased to announce that 52 Medway High School students were inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS) at an induction ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

At the ceremony, Superintendent Pires, Dr. Murray, NHS Adviser Andrew Nassiff and NHS President Tessa Pantaleo delivered speeches. There was also a video presentation from current NHS members and each NHS officer said a few words before the new inductees participated in the candle-lighting ceremony.

NHS recognizes students who show outstanding qualities in scholarship, character, leadership and community service. Medway High School juniors and seniors with a 5.6, out of 7.0, weighted GPA are eligible for induction.

Candidates write two essays, one detailing their leadership experience and one detailing their dedication to community service, and must acquire three character references from teachers or community leaders. Candidates submit their portfolio to a Faculty Council, which then selects students who meet the standards of character, leadership and service established by the NHS.

Once Medway students are inducted into the society, they are required to perform 18 hours of community service each semester. Community service projects often include tutoring, coordinating school blood drives or fundraisers, volunteering at the Medway Public Library, providing child care for town events and assisting at school functions such as the Parent-Teacher Night, among many other projects.

“Members of Medway’s National Honor Society demonstrate a commitment to academics, leadership and community service, and are an excellent representation of the traits we value at our school,” Dr. Murray said. “Congratulations to these students on this distinguished achievement.”
