Students inducted were Cristian Barron, Jasmine Cirisa, Eleanor Dogoldogol, and Crista Morua.
“We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body. National Honor Society members are chosen for and then expected to continue their exemplary contributions to the school and community,” said Ms. Micky Pelletier, chapter sponsor.
