MARLBOROUGH – Superintendent Ernest Houle has announced that Assabet Valley students were inducted into the National Honor Society on Wednesday, March 15.
The program is offered to students in grades 10 through 12. To qualify for the National Honor Society, students must maintain a 3.75 GPA or higher, volunteer at least 10 hours per academic year and have a discipline-free school record.
Social Studies teacher Alicia Coderre advises the program.
“Being co-adviser for NHS is an honor for me,” said Coderre. “I continue to be impressed with our NHS students, and how they thrive to have a positive impact on both our school community and in the cities and towns in which they live.”
The 13 inductees were chosen by an anonymous five-member NHS faculty council composed of academic and technical teachers and staff. The council reviewed and scored applicants on the four pillars of the National Honor Society: scholarship, leadership, character and service. Inductees also had to write a five-paragraph essay in support of their application.
After induction to the NHS, students will participate in various service projects throughout the year, including tutoring peers, fundraising, community volunteering at animal shelters, visiting the elderly and driving for the Meals on Wheels program.
“I want to congratulate our newest inductees on their hard work and commitment to furthering their education,” said Houle. “The National Honor Society is a truly honorable achievement, and it is wonderful to see our students get involved in the program and within the community on a larger scale. I am excited to see what they accomplish next.”
