Excellence in scholarship, service, leadership and character earned 45 Brockport High School students admittance into the National Honor Society this year. Students were presented with certificates during an induction ceremony held at Brockport High School on January 8.
The evening began with greetings and remarks by High School Principal Brian Weller, Ph.d. then National Honor Society advisors Patricia Arnold and Rebecca Barrett spoke about past NHS successes and future opportunities.
This year’s keynote address was delivered by Garth Fagan, an iconic dance choreographer born in Jamaica who moved to Rochester, where he established his own dance company. Fagan inspired students with his messages of hard work leading to success. He shared the importance of both formal and experiential education and explained the philosophy of being demanding of oneself before putting demands on others. Aligning with the pillars upon which the National Honor Society is built, Fagan also spoke about the connection between leadership and service.
The evening concluded with a reception for students, teachers and family members to celebrate their tremendous accomplishment.
