MEDWAY: Superintendent Armand Pires and Medway High School Principal John Murray are pleased to announce that the Medway High School chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 54 new members during a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020. 

The virtual ceremony included a video presentation prepared by the members of the NHS about their experiences as leaders as well as a video presentation by NHS officers detailing the four pillars of NHS before the newest members were recognized and inducted. A recording of the ceremony can be found at mhs.medwayschools.org 

NHS inductees are students who demonstrate exceptional scholarship, character, leadership and community service. Medway High School juniors and seniors with a weighted GPA of 5.6 out of 7.0 are eligible for induction. Candidates write two essays, one of which details their leadership experiences, and one which demonstrates their dedication to community service. They also need three character references from teachers or community leaders before submitting their application to a Faculty Council, which elevates their portfolio and then selects students who embody the four pillars of NHS. 

Medway students who are inducted into the society are required to perform at least 18 hours of community service projects each semester. 

“We are incredibly fortunate to have students who continue to exemplify leadership, scholarship, character and community service in Medway’s National Honor Society, especially during these difficult times,” Principal Murray said. “Their leadership by example is a characteristic we value greatly in Medway and we know each inductee will make us proud. Congratulations to all new members of this well-deserved achievement.”
