P. E. Wallace Middle School held its National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) induction ceremony on Thursday, November 14 in the P.E. Wallace gym. Eighty-two sixth graders were inducted as new members of the Wallace NEHS Chapter. The Wallace NEHS chapter recognizes 6th grade students for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility. The organization seeks to provide meaningful service activities for students in both the school and the community and to develop essential leadership skills. They are also required to attend monthly meetings and to participate in other chapter service projects and activities.

Mount Pleasant High School senior and MPHS National Honor Society Treasurer, Addison Heeren, served as the guest speaker. She reminded the students that she once sat in those same chairs and encouraged them to never give up, no matter what challenges they may face. The newly elected officers explained the four pillars of NEHS: Leadership, Responsibility, Scholarship and Service. Officers for 2024-2025 are President Khloee Castro Garcia, Vice President Jaretzy Villeda, Secretary Andrea Garcia, Treasurer Isabella Alvarez, and Historian Camila Flores. They received their certificates of membership from Wallace Principal, Nathan Rider, and recited the NEHS pledge.
