The Brockport High School Chapter of the National Honor Society welcomed 47 new members during a virtual induction ceremony. The National Honor Society is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
The virtual ceremony began with a welcome from BHS Principal Michael Pincelli, followed by opening comments from NHS advisers Patricia Arnold and Rebecca Barrett.
A keynote address was given by Elizabeth Masterson, the Head Women’s Soccer Coach at the Rochester Institute of Technology. After focusing on what the pillars meant to her, through her athletic lens, Masterson left students with the following challenge: “Instead of NHS being a transaction needed to get into a better college, what if it is part of your transformation as a leader? Instead of the community service you need in order to put it on your resume, what if you approach every service activity as an opening to really grow? After this, consider what you do and how you spend your time. Do you view it as a transaction; something to check the box? Or do you view it as something transformational; something you’re putting your whole self into and finding you have grown afterward?”
Current NHS officers also discussed the four pillars in which the NHS society was built before announcing the inductees. After the induction, congratulatory messages were given by Superintendent Bruno, Board of Education President Terry Carbone, and many Brockport High School Administrators.
NHS officers delivered certificates and special treats to each of the new inductees and hopes to hold an in-person reception for all new members and their families in the near future. The NHS Virtual Induction Ceremony can be viewed on the BHS website.
