This year’s inductees into the Hilton Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) – 80 juniors and 12 seniors – were recently honored in a virtual ceremony.
Normally, the induction ceremony takes place at the Hilton High School auditorium on the last Sunday in January, but advisors Dr. Carl Gaupp and Matthew Pietarinen were charged with developing an alternative ceremony due to COVID-19.
“When you look at the four pillars of the National Honor Society – Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character – you see the characteristics of successful people who make a positive impact on society,” said Dr. Jeffrey Green, principal. “You all are the difference makers of your generation. Making a difference is not a task that can be checked off or accomplished, like passing an exam or receiving a diploma. It is a lifelong pursuit. It is a daily decision.”
National Honor Society officers – President Robert Chaffee, Vice President Hannah Scheffer, Secretary Meghan Buri, and Treasurer Jason Donatella – reviewed the four pillars of membership and then read the names of each inductee. The inductees will receive an NHS pin and have an opportunity to sign the registry. The ceremony concluded with Robert Chaffee reading the NHS oath.
The newly inducted members are juniors Sophie Amering, Brianna Anselmo, Kayla Anstett, Mitchell Barry, Megan Barwald, Madden Bates, Lauryn Beyer, Jaelyn Bickom, Natalie Bock, Dominic Brugno, Trevor Burkis, Natalie Byrd, Sophia Cassata, Ryan Christ, Raena Christodaro, Shyla Connor, Jonathan Consadine, Lia DelVecchio, Rylie DelVecchio, Jameson DiPalma, Luciana Dodge, Claire Donohue, Calleigh Farley, Madeline Fiorella, Evan Fish, Giana Gramse, Regan Griggs, Benjamin Hassett, Alyssa Hockenberger, Doron Indelicato, Abigail IpenVanZeilen, Carly Johnson, Madelyn Johnson, Maya Johnson, Emily Jorgensen, Sarah Jorgensen, Claire Khuns, Meghan Kiser, Katelyn Korzenieski, Hailey Kuder, Riley Letta, Leah Leverich, Julia Malanchyn, Andrew Marean, Ella Mascadri, Madalyn Mascadri, Maria Mascadri, Riley Mason, Matthew Mastowski, Hannah Meagher, Alayna Miller, Danielle Mojsej, Brooke Moore, Joel Morris, Tyler Mullen, Kendra Muscato, Angelina Natale, Olivia Noto, Cara Pellechia, Riley Pendleton, Abigail Porter, Isabelle Price, Preston Prince, Laura Reigle, Alexandria Root, Cameron Ryan, Autumn Sample, Julia Sciortino, Rylan Searley, Carlie Spall, Moriah Spry, Molly Standing, Caroline Steiger, Aiden Tanck, Cassandra Thibault, McKenna Tydings, Kyra Ulreich, Riley Wheeler, Jessica Williams, Alexandra Zink, and seniors Payton Alloco, Emily Beedle, Kyle Benvenuti, Cassandra Denaro, Anthony Gramse, Makayla Jock, Noah Lochiatto, MacKenzie Pearson, Aaron Siracuse, Stephen Tilbe-Hugel, Taylor Underwood, and Shayla Vetter.
