On Wednesday evening, June 9, 70 juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society; the largest group of inductees in the history of Hastings High School.Students are selected for the National Honor Society based on four pillars of achieving high standards of scholarship, leadership, service and character. During the ceremony, the inductees pledged to maintain and encourage these standards.
Superintendent William McKersie and Hastings High School Principal Louis Adipietro congratulated the student inductees and their families, and thanked Maria Rudolph and Randi Shaw for their efforts as the NHS Faculty Advisors.
Addressing the students, Adipietro said, "Understand and be proud of the moment you see in front of you because you earned it. In the two toughest years, you earned it!"
McKersie challenged the group to be leaders who constantly blend their “head, heart and hand," bringing their intellect, their compassion, their talents, and their willingness to lend a hand to address problems or issues facing Hastings, our nation and world.
Using a metaphor. McKersie reminded students to "always consider and thank your Tenzing Norgay." Norgay is the noble Sherpa who ensured that Sir Edmund Hillary made it through thin air to be the first to ascend Mount Everest.
