ROCHELLE — Monday night, 21 seniors welcomed 25 new members into the Rochelle Township High School Chapter of the National Honor Society.
The National Honor Society was established by the National Association for Secondary School Principals 96 years ago, to create an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. These ideals of scholarship, service, leadership, and character remain today. In fact, as we prepare future leaders for global citizenship, the opportunity to support these ideals becomes even more important.
Membership in NHS is both an honor and a commitment. It is this commitment that has helped shape the Honor Society’s reputation for excellence, making it a valued asset among administrators, faculty members, students, parents, and communities.
In an impressive ceremony, inductees lined the stage wearing blue satin robes as members inducted last year lined the front rows of the auditorium. Officers Josh Bunger, Kellee Parker, Dylan
Mollett, and Lexy LeMar spoke on the tenants of membership: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service, lighting a candle signifying each, then sharing the flame to light new member candles before inductees took the pledge:
"I pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of the National Honor Society to which I have been selected;
I will be true to the principles for which it stands;
I will be loyal to my school; and will maintain and encourage high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character."
Welcoming inductees into NHS were Ashley Benge, Josh Bunger, Jonathan Drilling, Julie Frye, Gabrielle
Gonzalez, Caleb Gould, Hunter Haggestad, Christopher Hansen, Jaelyn Kammes, Abigail Kerns, Lexy LeMar, Dylan Mollet, Megan Monfils, Paige Myroth, Kellee Parker, Bhavini Persaud, Haley Rawles, Daniel Redington, Kyle Seebach, Alec Tilton, and Shannin Walter.
Inductees included seniors Alvaro Alanis, Anna Carpenter, Alexander Hopkins, Mason Lamb, Andrew Myers, and Taylor Nobles as well as juniors Sarena Abdallah, Morgan Baker, Elijah Ball, Alexis Bialas, Johnice
Collins, Hannah Cruz, Lillian Fulgencio, Alexander Harvey, Callianne Isley, Justin Julian, Morgan Knight,
