NHS Inducts 73 Owls

The Memphis University School chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 73 members from the junior and senior classes in a ceremony March 22.
Instructor in Religion Clay Smythe ’85, chair of the selection committee, welcomed students and families to the ceremony while speaking of the National Honor Society principles. Senior members then addressed the four pillars of the society, lighting candles to correspond with each trait: Alan Zhou on scholarship, Tyler Dang on leadership, Seth Yarbrough on character, and John McAllister on service.

Current NHS members tapped the new members, and Assistant Upper School Principal Mark Counce ’77 offered congratulatory handshakes after the inductees signed the National Honor Society ledger. Headmaster Pete Sanders delivered the charge and congratulated the honorees.

“In attaining this level of recognition, you have demonstrated mastery of the academic life at a school that asks much of its students. And perhaps more important, as National Honor Society members, you have laid down a record of service to the greater good, exuded good character, and taken on a leadership role.”

Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors a high school student can attain. In selecting the honorees, a committee considers juniors and seniors who have at least a 3.50 cumulative weighted GPA. Evaluating student activity forms and leadership/service questionnaires prepared by the candidates as well as faculty recommendations and evaluations, the committee looks for evidence of extraordinary scholarship, character, leadership, and service while at MUS.
