Eight students from Pentwater Public Schools were inducted as new members of the National Honor Society in a ceremony that recently took place at the school. Members were selected by the chapter’s faculty council for meeting high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character.
Students included are Brody Austin, Michael Carlson, Anaviolet Jeruzal, Margaret Jorissen, Abram Kieda, Bodey Lawler, Josephine Manor and Lila Merril.
“We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body. National Honor Society members are chosen for and then expected to continue their exemplary contributions to the school and community,” Chapter Adviser Carrie Jeruzal said.
The Pentwater High School chapter has been active since 1964. Each year the chapter sponsors several service projects for the school and community. In the last few years these have included blood drives, food drives, second-grade mentorship and many other community outreach projects.
The National Honor Society ranks as one of the most prestigious national organizations for high school students. There are chapters in more than 16,000 high schools, and, since 1921, millions of students have been selected for membership. Millions of dollars in scholarships have been awarded to senior members since 1945 by the sponsoring organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
