Twenty-seven Corprew Elementary School 4th graders became members of the National Elementary Honor Society as the Corprew NEHS Chapter held their annual induction ceremony on Tuesday, October 8th.

The students and the audience of parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, Corprew teachers and staff listened as the chapter officers explained the criteria for membership and the four characteristics of an NEHS member. President Khiya Bolton outlined the membership criteria and the characteristics of leadership while Vice-President Stoney Lampard discussed scholarship. Secretary Trisha Easley discussed responsibility and Treasurer Braylea Brown explained the characteristic of service. New member Gabriel Castaneda led the group in the National Honor Society pledge.

Mount Pleasant High School senior Caroline Rose, National Honor Society President and Captain of the Speech and Debate Team, gave the challenge to the inductees, encouraging them to work hard, set high goals for themselves and to always be true to who they are.

To be a member of NEHS, a student must meet or exceed the national minimum standard of a cumulative average grade of 85%. Students are also judged on their level of personal responsibility. NEHS recognizes 4th grade students for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility. The organization seeks to provide meaningful service activities for students to both the school and the community and to develop essential leadership skills in elementary school students.

“We are very proud of the 27 students who were inducted into the NEHS at Corprew,” said Principal Amanda Jones. “The students have worked hard to meet the requirements for NEHS. We will see these students do amazing things throughout their school career and in life.”
