On May 19 in the Trumbull High School auditorium, over one hundred members of the junior class were officially inducted into the National Honor Society. Since 1921, NHS has been recognizing students that not only exhibit scholarship, but also the virtues of leadership, service, and character. On Thursday, 111 juniors joined the over one million high school students involved in NHS in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

The induction took place in the evening, in front of the current members of the honor society and the family members of the inductees. Also at the induction were Mrs. Rizza and Mr. Banks, the two advisors for our chapter of the National Honor Society.
\nThe ceremony started off with touching speeches from Dr. Cialfi, the Trumbull Superintendent, and Mr. Guarino, our Principal, where they congratulated the inductees and affirmed the importance of service to our community.
\nAfterward, the NHS officers of the senior class discussed what the virtues of the honor society mean to them. First to the podium was Taylor Auten, describing the importance of scholarship in school and in life. Leadership was discussed by Ian Maloney, who started off by turning the podium around on the stage so that he could talk directly to the students.
\nAfterwards, Nikaash Pasnoori described the virtue of service, followed by an insightful depiction of character by Dante Montanaro. Each officer followed his speech by lighting a candle in symbolic reverence to the virtue he described.
\nAfter the speeches, all of the members were called by name to the front of the group.<\/p>\n

With every seat on stage filled and little space to be spared, there was no shortage of applause from the audience after all of the names were called.<\/p>\n

All in all, the ceremony ran smoothly and the speeches from the leaders of the community and the current National Honor Society officers were very inspirational and optimistic for the year to come.<\/p>\n

Senior and 2016 National Honor Society member Kristi Bui saw that the ceremony was a great way to introduce the new inductees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed watching the ceremony and seeing and listening to the officers talk. I was especially taken at some of their speeches, as I felt that they were both inspiring and really captured the essence of what NHS stands for. I am sure that the inductees feel the same way. It was also nice to see how respectful and poised the induction was,\u201d said Bui.
\nI can\u2019t be sure how the ceremony looked from the audience\u2019s point of view, but from the stage it was an honor to be accepted into an organization that helps so many in the community. The inductees to the National Honor Society are now new members, and are excited for what senior year will bring, as we say goodbye to the current members, and hello to a new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
