Forty-four Whitefield students joined the National Honor Society at an induction ceremony held in the Athletic Center on April 12. Established in 1921, the NHS recognizes outstanding high school students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
Christopher McDonald, NHS sponsor and science department chair, opened the ceremony by praising the students' commitment to excellence. NHS members shared the criteria for membership, and then McDonald read each new inductee's name one-by-one. As the students' names were called, each lit a candle which represented an area of scholarship, leadership, character, or service. The students then shared how they wanted to grow in that particular area. As the inductees left the stage, they received their NHS pin and certificate and were congratulated by Upper School Principal Nathan Stevens, who closed the ceremony.
Congratulations to the inductees: Paulina Bilotti, Hailey Blu, Anna Bracher, Louis Brogan, Caroline Browne, Barrett Bynum, Mikala Chambers, Caroline Cykoski, Isabel deAntonio, Alex Eaton, Annie Edwards, Jolie Gaston, Emilie Grand’Pierre, Annie Hamilton, Virginia Herschend, Mary Kathryn Hill, AJ Hopkins, Faith Jones, Katarina Kelly, Ian Kennedy, Maddie King, Maddie Knox, Edward Lee, Josie Levy, Emily Little, John Matherne, Lindsey Mills, Wesley Mitchell, Grayson Nour, Jack Overstreet, Keri Quillin, SV Ryan, Sydney Schulte, Jovani Simon, Everett Sinclair, Emmy Smith, Madison Sutherland, Braeden Swilley, Will Thomas, Justin Tinch, Joe Martin Tvaroch, Olivia Veenendaal-Casper, Kylie Weihe, and Kailey Williams.
