Honors Society Induction Ceremony Held
Center Elementary recently held a prestigious ceremony to induct 31 fourth and fifth grade students into the National Elementary Honors Society (NEHS).
The National Elementary Honors Society was established in 2008 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals to recognize elementary students in schools for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstration of personal responsibility in promoting meaningful service to the school and community. Students are encouraged to develop essential leadership skills and required to volunteer at least 10 hours of community service. The NEHS is a club for 4th and 5th grade students only.
The program ceremony was opened with a welcome and the Pledge of Allegiance from Madyson H., NEHS President. Mrs. Jenna Corley, NEHS Chapter Adviser, introduced the guest speaker Julianna P. Juliana is a senior at Ware County High School and has been offered scholarships from many colleges because of her outstanding academic and community achievements. She serves as an inspiration to young students to excel in their personal and school goals.

The Center Elementary NEHS Officers Madyson H., President, Jurguen S., Vice President, Da’Marion Z., Treasurer, and Jasmine M., Secretary, spoke on each criteria.
