The National Honors Society (NHS) held their induction ceremony in the Don Lugo multipurpose room Monday evening. The induction ceremony inducted seven juniors and 16 sophomores. The inductees went through a candle lighting ceremony and recited the NHS pledge. It ended with the new members signing the NHS registry, receiving a pin and certificate, and the students being officially accepted.

For a sophomore to join NHS they need a 3.5 unweighted GPA and two or more honors or AP classes. A junior needs a 3.5 unweighted GPA and three or more honors or AP classes.

NHS is a national organization that promotes scholarship, leadership, service, and character in students that are excelling academically. The NHS was established in 1921 and according to www.nhs.us, it is estimated that 1 million students across the nation participate in NHS activities. A number of famous and successful people have been a part of NHS including NFL players, actors, musicians, astronauts, and neurosurgeons; now 23 new Lugo students are apart of this prestigious group of honorees.
