Twenty-eight Vivian Fowler Elementary School 4th graders became members of the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) as the Fowler Campbell-Edwards-White NEHS Chapter held its 2021-2022 induction ceremony Thursday, October 7. The Vivian Fowler NEHS chapter is named for two former Fowler teachers, Sandra Campbell and Sue Edwards, and one current teacher, Mae Lois White. Campbell and Edwards each taught at the school for 25 years. White is in her 49th year of teaching at Fowler.

Before an audience of parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers and friends, the students listened as their chapter officers explained what it means to be a member of NEHS in the areas of Scholarship, Responsibility, Service and Leadership. The students, dressed in black and white, said the pledge and received their certificates of membership. The guest speaker for the program was Mariela Crockett, Executive Director of the Mount Pleasant ISD Foundation.

To be a member of NEHS, a student must meet the national minimum standard of a cumulative average grade of 85%. Students are also judged on their level of personal responsibility. Once inducted, members are required to maintain the same level of performance in academics and responsibility. They are also required to attend monthly meetings and to participate in other chapter service projects and activities.

“I am very proud of the students and the possibilities that they possess,” said Fowler Counselor and NEHS Chapter Advisor, Debra Williamson. “They have talents and abilities that they are not even aware of at the moment and I hope being a part of this organization can inspire them to be the change that the world needs to see.”
