A National Honor Society induction ceremony was held on Wednesday, Nov 6 at the Niles West auditorium.
This ceremony was held to honor students’ excellence in many different criteria.
“Being part of NHS means alot. NHS mainly focuses on 4 things- scholarship, community service, leadership, and character,” said NHS president and senior Jayna Shah. “Every member possesses these qualities and shines with them. There are so many students here that will do great things in the future, and it’s neat to have a club in which we can all come together and collaborate our strengths and weaknesses. As the president, I think it’s very important that we give back to the community and do what we can for other people. Whether it’s volunteering at the nursing home or just opening the door for someone, it’s very important to continue interacting with others.”
According to Daniel Gin, co-sponsor of NHS, there are many requirements the student should meet in order to be part of NHS. Gin also said that the students’ character, scholar, leadership and services are also taken into consideration.
“It’s a very prestigious group,” he said. “Only about 10% of the senior class was inducted this year.”
