Being inducted into National Honor Society
is one of the greatest accomplishments any student can achieve. Each year, many
are considered for acceptance but only a select few are chosen. National Honor Society members take part in
activities such as Adopt-a-Family, fundraisers, and the Ripley High School
blood drive. It is an honor to even be considered for induction, but being
accepted is something to truly be proud of.
The National Honor Society induction
ceremony was held March 6. At this ceremony, Principal Will Hosaflook spoke
about the importance and honor held inside of the Society that will be bestowed
upon the new elected members. Afterwards, officers of the club including Seniors
Andy Mellert, Michalia Parsons, Chad Longanacre, Tyler Bailey, and Ashley
Donohew talked about the requirements of
those in the Society and what exactly it means to be a member. Assistant
Principal Jeff Banton then followed by announcing the new inductees.
New inductees include Elijah Adkins, Savanna
Ashworth, Megan Bare, Kensey Bergdorf, Kaitlin Chinn, Kelsey Frampton, Jenny
Gibbs, Erica Gibson, Chelsey Hager, Brittani Hancock, Dallas Hopkins, Caleb
Jennings, Jarah Manns, Tegan Morris, Braxton Morrison, Kelli Poling, Anna
Robinson, Alex Shamblin, Brandon Tolley, Nathan Tucker, Kacie Whitney, Sarah
Williams, and Laura Wilson.
NHS advisor Elizabeth Sayre explained the
requirements for induction: “The national standards for admittance to Honor
Society are so high, it is truly an honor to be inducted. Students must display
not only a high grade point, but be leaders in the areas of character and
service.”
Requirements for being accepted include a
3.6 GPA and participation in service, character, and leadership areas. Initial
consideration just requires the GPA, but to be elected you must be a
well-rounded student. Students with a the applicable GPA will be sent
applications where they detail their accomplishments in each of the three categories
above. Teachers are sent ratings forms for each student on which they will rank
the student according the service, character, and leadership categories. Those
score are then averaged, added with the GPA, and divided by six.
