Trinity Collegiate holds Induction Ceremony
Trinity Collegiate School held its annual induction ceremony for the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society on Thursday, April 20, 2023. Fifty students were inducted into the NHS, along with 41 members inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. The induction ceremony was lead by chapter President Reilly Mizell along with the executive board of the TCS NHS: Vice President Jason Iseman, Secretary Hart Starling, and Treasurer Samantha Stephens, all senior members of the National Honor Society.
Membership in the National Honor Society is dependent upon a student’s academic performance as well as their record of service to both the school and community. The four pillars of membership in the Honor Society include scholarship, service, leadership and character. Trinity is proud to have been inducting members to these honor societies since 1997.
Nationally, honor society members are eligible scholastically with a 3.0 grade-point average (GPA), but chapter advisor Mrs. Jessica Iseman says a higher standard is held at Trinity. “Because we have so many high achieving students at Trinity Collegiate, we require a 3.8 unweighted GPA, which equals a 90.0 cumulative average for all credit bearing high school classes.”
Additionally, students are required to participate in a certain amount of community service.
“We also require students to perform 25 hours of community service per year,” added Iseman. NHS members can earn scholarships specific to the society and have a higher likelihood of acceptance to colleges due to their membership.
