On Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 73 students were inducted into the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society is an elite group at Morgan. All students inducted into NHS must have a minimum GPA of a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, they must volunteer their time to the school and the community, they must be leaders, and they must have good character. This means they work well with others; they are honest and reliable; they respect others, and have a clean disciplinary record.

Last year, the induction ceremony did not happen due to COVID-19, so this year, those who were not inducted last year were finally inducted. This made the ceremony even more valuable and memorable. 

The students and their family members arrived in the cafeteria where they received their pins, a certificate, and a rose. They were pinned by their family and got their pictures taken. Students who take the culinary elective with Ms. Murphy baked cookies that each student was able to take, as well.

This year’s ceremony looked a lot different due to COVID-19 protocols, the head of NHS at Morgan, Shannon Robinson, knew that it was important to the students that they were inducted despite these setbacks. With this being Mrs. Robinson’s first year as head of NHS, she worked hard to put together a formal ceremony for these students to honor their hard work and to show them that their efforts do not go unnoticed.

Head of the National Tech Honors Society, Lawrence Chapman, was also able to honor 21 students at this event. Mr. Chapman has been the head of NTHS for eight years.

These students must have at least a 3.0 GPA on their academic record. They must demonstrate a high level of achievement and skill development, and they must also be focused on a Career and Technical Education (CTE)
