ALBANY,
N.Y. (December 1, 2011) -- Albany High School’s National Honor Society
inducted 44 seniors Wednesday night, recognizing the students for three
years of outstanding academic achievement.
The induction ceremony and dinner at Crossgates Banquet House included
remarks from Dr. Celia M. Gonzalez, retired deputy comptroller for the
New York State Office of State Comptroller’s Division of Diversity
Programs.
"NHS members are expected to be enthused about
scholarship, be willing to take on leadership roles in the school and
community, approach problems and obstacles with a strong sense of
morals, values and character, as well as have a desire to render service
for the betterment of the community and the nation," said Albany High
teacher and NHS advisor Diann Scialdo. "With the expectations listed
above, I congratulate you all."
The four chapter officers also explained the four ideals of the National
Honor Society.
Scholarship – Seamus Daniels, president
Leadership – Meredith O’Connell, vice president
Service – Erika Portelli, secretary
Character – Kristian Uzhca, treasurer
The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 to help create a
better-rounded student who would be willing to put his or her talents to
work serving others in society. Albany High’s Arista Chapter was formed
in 1957 and admitted 15 students in its first group of inductees.
To be eligible for membership in Albany High’s chapter, students must
maintain a cumulative average of 89.5 or higher through the first three
years of high school. Congratulations to the 44 members of the Arista
Chapter Class of 2012:
