A total of 132 new members were inducted into the East Meadow High School Chapter of the National Honor Society on Nov. 3.
At the annual induction ceremony at Milleridge Cottage in Jericho parents, faculty, administrators, Board of Education members and current NHS members gathered to recognize new members, who were selected based on their ability to maintain high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character. Inductees will now join their fellow members in upholding these principles by working to better their school and local community through civic involvement, volunteer activities and adherence to the highest standards of morality and ethics.
Superintendent of Schools Louis R. DeAngelo congratulated new members on their induction and encouraged them to always lead by example.
“The choices you’ve made and the actions you’ve taken have earned you a place of honor in this prestigious society,” Mr. DeAngelo said. “By your actions and your commitment to excellence, you have earned the distinction of membership in a society to which only approximately 10 percent of students nationally gain entry. Enjoy this evening among your parents, friends, teachers and administrators and revel in the sense of accomplishment which is rightfully yours.”
After being congratulated by Mr. DeAngelo and East Meadow High School Principal Richard Howard, the new members received honorary certificates and were officially inducted.
