On Sunday, October 18, the Wortham High School Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) inducted seven new members in a candle lighting ceremony. The new inductees included: Charley Braun, Ashilyn Cartwright, Mika-Lyn Gargis, Veronica Gutierrez, Travis Laminack, Brenna Lewis, and Reagan Stuver.
During the ceremony, current member and President, Ben Havens, lit candles to symbolize the four pillars that serve as standards for the NHS: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. As the 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 fifth 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 over 600 hours of community service and mentoring hours in the schools and community.
Congratulations to these hard working students!
