Fifteen students were inducted into Morrison High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, during an evening ceremony in the auditorium. Students were selected based on academic credentials (3.5 GPA or higher); leadership in school and community activities; their solid character; service to others. New inductees consisted of 14 Juniors and one Senior. Multiple Morrison High School Seniors who were selected last year as Juniors took active roles in the ceremony.
The evening began with a Procession of students into the auditorium, followed by a Welcome and Introduction of current members, by High School Principal David Mills. NHS members Cameron McDonnell, Evan McDonnell, Sarah Weston, Geneva Connelly, Peyton Emerson, Madison Banks, Cooper Bush, Madison Krum, Cambell Buikema, and Katie Hutchison spoke about the purpose of the National Honor Society and its themes of Service, Leadership, Scholarship, and Character. Alyvia Behrens offered a reflection regarding the Senior class, including its adaptability during the period of virtual learning that followed the COVID-19 pandemic.
Carly Boonstra introduced new members, and Caden Bielema presented each with a pin and certificate recognizing their membership in NHS.
Dailey Damhoff congratulated the new members, and Emery Brewer led inductees in the National Honor Society Pledge. Kaylynn Alfrejd concluded the ceremony by recognizing all of the parents, family, teachers, school staff, and friends who contributed to the students’ success.
Following a group photo on stage, guests enjoyed cookies and bottled water in the cafeteria. Congratulations to all of the new and continuing members of NHS!
