The Fairbury Chapter of National Honor Society recently selected fourteen new members. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student. The National Honor Society has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers and community. Chapters in more than 12,500 high schools across the nation strive to give practical meaning to the Society’s goals of scholarship, leadership, service and character. These four ideals have been considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Honor Society strives to recognize the total student: one who excels in all these areas.
On Thursday, December 15th, advisor Mrs. Julie Petersen said, “I am excited to work with this outstanding group of students. With 29 members I look forward to activities this spring such as helping with Jump Rope For Heart at Central Elementary, assisting at the community food bank and running a blood drive with Nebraska Community Blood Bank.”
The formal induction ceremony will be held at the Fairbury High School Burkley Fine Arts Center on Tuesday, January 17, 2017, at 7:00 p.m.
Previous members Emily Burkley, Seth Griger, Jacob Johnson, Macy Ohlde, Britney Scheetz, Evie Schwab, Jolie Scott, Paul Mach, Patrick Ondrak, Justin Peterson, Hannah Yantz, Jonathan Engelman, Megg Vaughn, Madison Black and Althea Esteller welcome new members Dawson DeBoer, Destiny Brown, Isaac Robertson, Jayson Klaumann, Joy Ondrak, Marah Shumard, McKenzie Layton, Michaela Buchli, Mikasa Lierman, Nichole Harris, RJ Suey, Taylea Mills, Tayler Shellhase and Toriann Likens.
