The National Junior Honor Society recently held an induction where eighth and ninth graders were welcomed into the club because of their high averages and numerous hours dedicated to community service. Students arrived in their fanciest attire at 6 pm sharp inside of the school gymnasium. With the help of student volunteers and advisors, Ms. Amelia Ward and Ms. Brett Coppens, inductees lined up to enter the gym. The South High School Wind ensemble was also on the scene playing numerous tunes for South pride. Students entered the gym to see multiple of the current National Junior High School members at the podium as well as the smiling faces of the audience.
Representatives from the National Junior High School walked up one by one to explain the five pillars of National Junior High School which are the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. Each speaker lit a candle to further show that these five pillars are needed for someone to be an outstanding member of the organization. Principal Ms. Maureen Henry, and vice-principals Mrs. Jacquelin Allen, and Mr. Thomas Zervas also shared speeches commemorating the students' hard work throughout the year. Truly a memorable moment for the students throughout the South High school career thus far.
