As a result of their academic success, 58 Earl L. Vandermeulen High School students learned they have been accepted into the National Honor Society. These new members met the scholarship requirements, demonstrated their leadership and character, and served their community in a variety of ways throughout their time at the high school.

The district has traditionally conducted a “tapping ceremony” where each student is tapped on the shoulder by a current National Honor Society member, and surprised by peers, their parents and other family members at the formal candlelighting ceremony.

In a nod to that tradition and festivities, each new member was surprised at home by National Honor Society advisers high school librarian Mary LaSita and guidance counselor Kathi Galvin, Principal Eric Haruthunian, Assistant Principal Kevin Bernier and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Christine Austen. Each student recited the Pledge of Allegiance and was presented with their National Honor Society membership card and certificate along with a thoughtful gift of candy.
