Thirty-two students from Gilmer High School were inducted as new members of the National Honor Society in a ceremony held at the Gilmer High School Auditorium on Tuesday. Members were selected by the chapter’s Faculty Council for meeting high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character.

Students inducted were: Anna Arrington, Danielle Barr, Jaide Baugh, Briana Boyle, Holly Brown, Laren Clemens, Jarah Crittenden, Kaeruru Deboer, Jessica Elledge, James Hagler, Jared Harborth, Hunter Harrison, Colby Henderson, Brittany Hicks, Lupita Ibarra, Benjamin Lampp, Clint LeBlanc, Karen Lopez, Adam Martin, Britteny Reynolds, Amanda Sherman, Kasey Shrewsbury, Aaron Smith, Erin Spencer, Kirby Spencer, D.J. Stanley, Clint Tevebaugh, Shelby Thomas, Caleb Tillery, Dustin Varnado, Samantha Wheeler, Benjamin Yocum.

“We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body. National Honor Society members are chosen for, then expected to continue, their exemplary contributions to the school and community,” said Veronica Austin, chapter adviser.

The Gilmer High School Chapter has been active since 1964. Each year the chapter sponsors several service projects for the school and community, which in the last few years have included the Christmas Toy Drive and Teacher Appreciation Week.

The National Honor Society ranks as one of the oldest and most prestigious national organizations for high school students. Chapters exist in more than 15,000 schools and, since 1921, millions of students have been selected for membership. This national student recognition organization is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
