At the high school’s 54th annual National Honor Society induction
ceremony, 49 juniors and seniors were recognized for their
accomplishments and efforts that earned them membership in this
prestigious organization.
After a short musical performance by the
Deer Park High School String Quartet, the society’s officers – President
Peter Demopoulos, Vice President Nicholas DiModica, Secretary Kalvin
Guyer and Treasurer Jasmine Perez – led the new inductees into the
auditorium, followed by the current members.
National Honor Society
adviser Seth Margolin offered a welcome to the students and their
parents, followed by remarks from Demopoulos, Principal James Cummings
and Associate Principal Brian Norton.
“Tonight is a celebration of
Deer Park students who are exemplars in the areas of scholarship,
leadership, service and character,” said Norton in his speech.
Addressing the new inductees, he told them, “As the role models of Deer
Park, your daily endeavors and successes have not gone unnoticed.”
The
NHS officers then spoke, each describing the qualities that serve as
the standards for all National Honor Society members, which are
demonstrated through each new inductee. Following the reading of the NHS
pledge, the new members were sworn in with a candle-lighting ceremony.
“We were all happy and proud to be a part of this important event in the lives of these students,” said Margolin.
