The induction for the National Honor Society looked a little different for this year. Due to COVID-19, new members of NHS got inducted through a computer screen and a lot later than usual. Normally the National Honor Society Induction is in April but because of COVID-19, it got postponed.

“This is not what we planned but this is what we get to do,” Mrs. Hallemeier, one of the sponsors, explained in the induction.

Even with the new challenges presented, the National Honor Society still kept up with tradition. As part of their tradition, the cabinet members led the induction, this year just from the comfort of their own homes. 

This year’s induction welcomed new members to NHS and introduced them to their four pillars: scholarships, service, leadership and character. These four pillars are the basis of the National Honor Society and should always be upheld by the members.

Moving forward the National Honor Society has many goals for this school year. The main goal of being able to find opportunities for members. 

“Our first (goal) is to find opportunities for all of our members to volunteer locally, whether that be, online, remote, or in groups with proper guidelines. Additionally, we have a goal of providing support for students and our academic family here at Liberty,” National Honor Society President, Olivia Guffey (12) explained.

Although this year may look different, the National Honor Society’s morals have not changed. The NHS plans to keep meeting virtually and lead their community through this year.
