On Thursday, March 14, 2013 eleven students from Southwestern High School were inducted into the National Honor Society during an evening ceremony. The five-member NHS Faculty Council, with input from the entire staff, selected students for meeting high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
Congratulations to all of the new members! Newly inducted members are Seniors Nate Mueller and Alex Schmieder and Juniors Kelsey Batteram, Lexi Brosius, Karissa Doyle, Will Doyle, Bailey Fellenzer, Cal Grutz, Elliott Hill, Evan Kuhl, and Logan Splinter. Current members Emma Droeszler, Evan Abramsky, Sarah Lindenberg, Aaron Kaiser, and Abby Kunkel conducted the ceremony, with concluding words from Mr. Tom Koeller, NHS advisor and Mrs. Cynthia Lacey, high school principal. A reception followed allowing students, their families, staff, and community members to socialize while enjoying punch and cake.
Southwestern High School first began an NHS Chapter in 1970; since then, 487 students have been inducted into the Society.
