Gray Stone Day School held its annual National Honor Society induction ceremony on Oct. 17 in the Bud Singletary Gymnasium.
NHS is an organization that provides students with knowledge and skills to become transformational leaders in their school and community. The organization is built on four pillars of scholarship, service, leadership and character. Students who demonstrate these traits and skills are selected by a faculty council.
A ceremony led by current members on the National Honor Society tapped 32 new students for membership.
Bladen Goodman gave a warm welcome followed by Jeff Walter, high school principal.
2024 graduate Mark Lappin and former NHS member was a guest speaker.
Officers Hudson Sharp, Evan Barber, Georgia Sangster and Spencer Lambert each spoke on the NHS pillars.
Spencer Lambert, president of the NHS, presented the new inductees.
“Being selected into membership of the National Honor Society is an earned honor,” Lambert said. “While GPA is an important piece, there is a real responsibility that comes with membership. Members must be dedicated to organization commitments and actively participate in service all while maintaining academic excellence in the classroom.”
“Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors awarded to a high school student,” added Heather Ferguson, club advisor. “It is also an ongoing responsibility and an obligation to continue to demonstrate the qualities that resulted in their selection. I count on these students to be role models and leaders in our school.”
The new inductees are Erin Auguston, Amelia Barney, John Bristol, Liz Bryson, Gavin Burke, Addy G. Carter, Lilly Dangerfield, Jasmine David, London Gray, Noel Hernandez-Palestina, Suzana Hoffman, Taylor Holt, Matthew Lappin, Brooke Limerick, Anna Morgan, Mark Morton, Polly Nantz, Natalie Niederer, Auden Pethel, Aly Plowman, Camden Plyler, Isabella Restar, Vinny Rinaggio, Wes Rummage, Avery Smith, Landon Staton, Elizabeth Strohecker, Donovan Tucker, Courtney Vang, Anthony Varbanov, Ben Wallmann and Gabriel Young.
