The Brockport High School Chapter of the National Honor Society formally welcomed 49 new members during an induction ceremony held January 13. The National Honor Society is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership and character.
This year’s keynote speaker was Hillary Olson, President and CEO of Rochester Museum and Science Center. Olson used personal experiences, starting in Brockport when she was in fifth grade, to show how plans are continuously changing and evolving as people learn and grow. She stressed the importance of practicing whatever it is you want to be daily and to never stop learning. “Find the edges of your comfort zone and push gently, but consistently, against them,” Olson advised the students.
