New Members Inducted into National Honor Society

The 66th Annual National Honor Society Induction Ceremony took place at Whitewater High School on Wednesday evening, November 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium. Thirteen juniors and seniors were inducted as members to honor and recognize their outstanding qualities of leadership, character, scholarship, and service to the school and community. After opening remarks by Associate Principal Nathan O’Shaughnessey, the Whitewater High School Music Masters performed a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem and a piece by Lodovico Grossi da Viadana entitled, “Exultate Justi in Domino.” Whitewater High School Principal Brent Mansky thanked the faculty for providing an excellent educational experience for students and honored parents for the support and encouragement they have provided their children over the years. NHS Advisor Pamela Sonmor-Wintz shared remarks about the projects NHS participated in during the past year and presented medallions to the officers for their leadership within the organization. NHS President Aileen Perez, Vice President Josephine Treder, Secretary Kindyl Kilar, and Treasurer Tyler Arnett presented inspirational speeches about leadership, character, scholarship, and service, and then new members were introduced and received National Honor Society pins and certificates.

The National Honor Society was established at Whitewater High School in 1956 to inspire enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote worthy leadership, and encourage the development of character in high school students. NHS has become a prestigious organization ranking high among college admission officers, scholarship committees, high school faculty and administrators, students, parents, and residents of our community. For many, selection as a member of the National Honor Society is the pinnacle of achievement in school. This honor, recognized throughout the nation, is both the public recognition of outstanding accomplishments and the private commitment to continued excellence on the part of each new member. 

The following 2022-2023 National Honor Society Photo Story was shown at the beginning of the ceremony to celebrate all members and their accomplishments during the past year: https://youtu.be/FzeJ75_Dr8M
