In what made for a memorable ceremony, a total of 123 new members were recently inducted into the East Meadow High School Chapter of the National Honor Society.
At the 54th annual induction ceremony at Milleridge Cottage in Jericho, N.Y., 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 continue to strive for excellence in all their endeavors and to 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 from NHS advisers Evelyn Sideri and Kim Themistocleous and were officially inducted. NHS Executive Board members Hassan Alam, Katrina Bamba, Dharsan Chandrakumar, Ali Francese, Rabihah Huda, Dominique Richards and Nathan Siegelaub officiated over the ceremony.
Ms. Sideri and Ms. Themistocleous offered closing remarks, once again congratulating new members on this milestone accomplishment.
