 The inductees also read an the oath with a lit candle.

All of the inductees are excited to be recognized and inducted into NHS

 “It’s an honor to be recognized for hard work and to be able to give back to the community” Junior Isabella Bertilacci said. 

The inductees into NHS had to prove that they had good grades, are active in the school, have past leadership experiences, and have given back to the community with at least 40 service hours. 

The service hour requirement is a really unique way for students to be able to give back to their community and gain a positive experience.

“I did most of my service hours through my church, so I was able to  work with  people who I was close with and giving back is always a great experience,” said Junior Katie Biggs.
