The Tidewater Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) School has announced that new members were appointed to the organization in 2020. St. Michaels High School’s unique “Tapping Ceremony” was held in a drive-by, socially distanced fashion while schools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NHS is a national organization established in 1921, which serves to recognize students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Eligibility is open to juniors and seniors with a 3.2 GPA and 75 service learning hours completed. Those students receive an application to submit, and it goes before a Staff Review Committee comprised of teachers, club advisors, and coaches to review and select students. Selection is based on the 4 NHS Principles: Character, Leadership, Service, and Scholarship.
Mr. JR Burkhardt, Guidance Counselor serves as St. Michaels High School’s National Honor Society Faculty Advisor.
The 2020 NHS inductees are as follows:
Class of 2020 (admitted as seniors)
Lilly Evans and Lexie Jordan
Class of 2021 (admitted as juniors)
Lily Ball, Owen Baum, Andre Davis, Logan Devaric, Michael DiSilvestro, Emily Dobson, Bradley Duley, Molly Fullerton, Carter Kelly, Madelyn LaBelle, Meghan Lawrence, Kristin Lednum, Cindy Rodriguez, Hannah Seek, Katie Stang, Mia Terry, Catherine Toby
“I am extremely proud of these students for their work both in and out of the classroom and their positive influence on their school community,” said Mrs. Theresa Vener, Principal. “I know they will continue to demonstrate the NHS Principles here at St. Michaels High School and beyond.”
