On May 22, 2025, we proudly welcomed a new class of scholars into the National Honor Society (NHS) during a heartfelt ceremony held in the Davies cafetorium. The event honored students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to scholarship, leadership, service, and character—the four pillars of the NHS. The NHS motto, "Noblesse Oblige" — meaning “nobility obligates” — reflects the values our inductees strive to embody: to act honorably and generously in service to others.
With the yellow rose as the official symbol of the NHS, the ceremony was filled with symbolism, pride, and inspiration. Special thanks to Mrs. San Bento and Mrs. Mathers, our dedicated NHS Co-Advisors, and the 2024–2025 Faculty Council for their leadership and support.
