NHS Inducts new members

by Olivia Underwood

The prestigious society of The National Honor Society has recently inducted the newest members with a ceremony with much pomp and tradition behind it. The new members elected their president, PCHS junior Rachel Kenderdine. National Honor Society has a long history of upstanding members and charity work, and they are a highly respected group of scholars. Rachel was honored to be so highly regarded by her peers.

“It means a lot.” Rachel said. “I wanted to have an office, and I’m really happy to be President.”

NHS has several pillars of spirit that every student inducted must meet. These include Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. As President, Rachel will be continuing this tradition.

“I hope to volunteer as much as possible and help keep everything up to the National Honor Society’s standards.” Rachel said.

This year National Honor Society has decided to help the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital by selling boots for a dollar that will be hung up around the school. St. Jude’s helps children suffering from cancer and turns no child away so it takes millions to keep it running. St. Jude’s helps hundreds of children and so now National Honor Society is helping them to continue in their mission. If you’d like to support National Honor Society’s charity efforts contact one of their many members to find out more.

“The boots are a good way to help without forcing people to buy expensive things they don’t need,” Rachel said of the charity. “And they go to a good cause.”
