Juniors, seniors are eligible for selection
On Monday, November 14, the Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) National Honor Society (NHS) held the annual dinner and induction ceremony at the Mountain Lake Community Center.
The ceremony was conducted by current NHS members, seniors Liana Blomgren, daughter of Kyle and Kimberly Blomgren; Samuel Grev, son of David and Kendra Grev; Samuel Hirsch, son of Alan and Wendy Hirsch; Katherine Hofmann, daughter of Perry and Cheryl Hofmann; Rebekah Klassen, daughter of Chad and Esther Klassen and Thomas Kraemer, son of Kenneth and Rebecca Kraemer.
The NHS is composed of juniors and seniors who have proven themselves outstanding in scholarship, character, leadership and service.
The scholarship requirement is met by maintaining a “B” (3.20) average of above.
A student who shows positive leadership is one who takes a constructive lead in the classroom and in-school activities, who contributes constructive ideas for school improvement and who positively influences others for the good of the total school.
A student judged to have a strong character is one who meets responsibilities promptly, is tolerant of others, honest in dealings with others and upholds the principles of morality and ethics.
Service to the school and community-at-large, whether it be athletics, fine arts or other services, is the final area in which the potential NHS candidate is judged.
Inducted this year were seniors, Lily Kauffman, daughter of Galen and Betty Kauffman; Kalley Rempel, daughter of Bryan and Carolyn Rempel and Karen Soutthivong, daughter of Sakoul and Chantha Soutthivong and juniors, Jae Faber, daughter of Craig and Debra Faber; Brodie Freeman, son of Omer and Sheri Stewart; Jareya Harder, daughter of David and Pratoomporn Harder; Weston Osland, son of Chad and Pam Osland; Madison Schroeder, daughter of Kevien and Sandy Schroeder and Michael Watkins, son of David and Tammy Watkins.
The NHS at MLHS was founded in 1946. The current MLHS NHS advisor is Kurt Jahnke, the school’s instrumental director.
