On Sunday, October 1, the Wortham High School Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) inducted seven new members in a candle lighting ceremony. The new inductees included: Kaylee Calame, Trett Carroll, Ana Colquette, Brooke Norcross, Ember Preston, Case Samford and Braidee Taylor.
During the ceremony, current members lit candles to symbolize the four pillars that serve as standards for the NHS: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. As inductees were introduced by the principal, Mr. David Hayes, and the academic advisor, Mrs. Amy Jo Miller, they received a certificate and a membership pin.
This is the eighth year that Wortham High School has participated in the NHS program under the consultation of Mrs. Katherine Havens, faculty sponsor. Last year, the members volunteered almost 350 hours of community service and mentoring hours in the schools and community.
Congratulations to these hard working students!
