Carlisle High School students displayed much honor and integrity at the National Honor Society induction.

Carlisle’s chapter of the National Honor Society held its yearly induction on April 10, adding 75 new members. With the addition of these new members, the NHS at Carlisle High School has over 200 people, becoming one of the largest clubs.

“NHS is much more than simply ‘The Honor Roll’ in that involves leadership, community service and character as well as scholarship,” said NHS advisor Dr. Margaret Jennings.

Many of the CHS faculty are also involved with the National Honor Society induction. A committee of people sit and discuss new applicants for admittance. They look not only at grades, but the overall behavior of a student since they have been in high school.

“The most valuable aspect of NHS is that is encourages students to be more than just strong in academia,” said Kristy Shinn, a math teacher at Carlisle who also discusses applicants for NHS.

The National Honor Society is a club that many members take great pride in. It is a representation of their hard work and dedication during the school year.

“I think the NHS is an accurate demonstration of the hard work done in a school year. It is one thing to just get good grades, but it is another to be a well-rounded individual,” said sophomore Amina Alagic, one of the 75 new members of the NHS.
