The Macks Creek Chapter of the National Honor Society held their induction ceremony on Thursday, inducting seven new members. Each member pledged to uphold the four pillars of an NHS member, which include Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character.
Chapter President Madison Moos provided the welcome and opening remarks. The Macks Creek NHS Chapter has been inducting new members since 1988, and with Wednesday’s ceremony, continues the emphasis that the chapter represents the emphasis on excellence for the school and community. In addition to the strong academic records, which established member’s eligibility for membership, members are also leaders in many student organizations and serve the school in many different activities. These include FBLA, FFA, FCA, Student Council, Art Club, music, and athletics. We are proud of this record of accomplishment and welcome these new members who bring new energy and support of their continuing work as NHS members.
NHS Finance Chair Israel Husong spoke on Scholarship. "Scholarship denotes a commitment to learning. Candidates have the charge to continually explain their world through the opportunities inherent in Scholarship."
The next speaker was NHS Vice President Calvin Eidson, who spoke on Leadership. "Leadership should exert a wholesome influence on the school. In taking initiative in the classroom and in school activities, the real leader strives to train and aid others to reach their common goals of success."
Kamora Merchant, NHS Secretary, then spoke on Service. "Service can be established in the routine of the day's work where many opportunities arise to help others both at school and in the community. Our members are committed to volunteering our time and talents to the creation of a better tomorrow."
NHS Member Brooklyn Green closed out the Four Pillars by speaking on Character. "Character is the force within the individual that distinguishes each person from others. By demonstrating such qualities as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship, we hope to prove that we value Character."
President Madison Moos leads the new inductees in the Chapter Pledge.
Congratulations to the new Macks Creek High School National Honor Society Members: Sophomores Tate Boothe, Michael Egan, Kaelee Keehler, Devon Laxton, Kynndal Lane, Stella Lappat, and Sebastian Sanchez!
