A new crop of National Honor Society members

Students lighting ceremonial candles during the National Honor Society Induction.

A total of 99 academic luminaries were inducted into Â鶹ӰÒô High School's Arista Chapter of the National Honor Society on Oct. 23.

The students, all seniors, were eligible for National Honor Society because each has maintained an overall academic average of 89.5 or higher at Â鶹ӰÒô High.

The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 to help create a better-rounded student who would be willing to put his or her talents to work serving others in society. Â鶹ӰÒô High’s Arista Chapter was formed in 1957 and admitted 15 students in its first group of inductees.

Â鶹ӰÒô High’s National Honor Society inductions were moved from the spring of junior year to the fall of senior year so that every student’s academic record would include all junior year grades.

The new inductees are as follows. Congratulations to all these academic high flyers!
