(New Lenox) - Dr. John Harper, Principal of Providence Catholic High School, is proud to announce the 2016 National Honor Society (NHS) members, who were officially inducted during a ceremony in early March.  "These new members have received one of the highest honors granted to students at Providence Catholic and other high schools across the nation and we are very proud of their extraordinary academic achievements," said Dr. Harper.

 

Providence Catholic National Honor Society is founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, character and service.  The selection process begins when students who meet academic qualifications are given applications for NHS membership.  Once the student completes their application, Providence Catholic faculty members are asked to evaluate the candidates on the four guiding principles.  Finally, the Faculty Council reviews the prospective students and makes the final decision on membership.

 

NHS is a service-based student organization and its members continue to serve after induction.  Members participate in many community projects and are also called upon to coordinate the PCHS Book Sale, lead tour groups during the school's annual Open House and staff the Annual Fund phon-a-thons, parent-teacher conferences and special events. 

 

The newly appointed Class of 2017 National Honor Society officers are President Faith Morrison, Michael Massaro, Aidan Wheeler and Jamie Zavodny.
