The National Honor Society (NHS) is an academic privilege; it’s evidence of a student’s commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, and character. For many, induction into the NHS marks the beginning of a journey dedicated to making a visible difference in their schools and communities. NHS is not a right given to everyone. It is a prerogative in which dedicated students are recognized by the teaching staff, and work hard for. This year’s inductees are eager to embrace this challenge.
NHS members understand that leadership isn’t just about holding a title; it’s about inspiring others and working collaboratively to achieve common goals. Last Wednesday, Seward High School welcomed 12 new nominees to their chapter: Jonas Moseman, Raegan Hillstead, Addison Gerlach, Olive James, Sobina Clendaniel, Olin Liljemark, Indigo Leslie, Regan Seibert, Crystal Maddox, Amara Ransom, Chloe Lyon, and Josie Andrews. Crystal expressed, “It’s an honor to be chosen for this program. I’m looking forward to helping improve the school and myself.” This statement reflects the dual focus of the NHS: fostering personal growth while contributing to the growth of the community.
NHS provides a platform for students to put their values into action, whether it’s through tutoring, organizing community events, or leading initiatives to address local needs. As another inductee, Jonas Moseman noted, “I am excited to help my community prosper and thrive with my contributions.” Through these efforts, NHS members not only enrich the lives of others but also develop crucial skills that will serve them well in college and beyond.
