NHS Induction was an A+ experience
April 20, 2014
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.

I have really enjoyed NHS throughout these last three years of highschool. I will remember how lucky I was to be able to be included into such a selective club. I enjoyed being able to help the highschool through NHS by helping to set up for events and organizing different clubs!

I love that NHS has a ceremony every year. It’s a great way to honor those students who have worked so hard.

I think that this ceremony is a good way to honor those students that excel not only in the classroom, but in the leadership roles of the school as well. I am a part of NHS and I can say that we do numerous activities to help tutor students not only in the high school, but in the entire school district to help better their school performance.
