The National Honor Society at Ka‘u High School recently inducted new members and honored current members with a candlelight service at the campus.
Vice Principal Wilma Roddy complimented the students and their families for their efforts to help develop young men and women with character, community service, leadership and academic success.
English teacher Brenda Neidigk talked about honor students often being the quiet ones and said NHS gives high-potential students the opportunity to interact with “others of like minds.” She noted Honor Society members’ humble service to the community, from painting buildings to cleaning up trash and volunteering at senior centers and Ka‘u Hospital.
The local chapter is called the Silver Oak, and its club adviser is teacher David Brooks.
Current leaders of the Ka‘u High Honor Society are Sheilla Felipe (president), Maricar Manantan, JR Abalos, Chloe Gan and Deisha Gascon.
New members are Monica Lynn Covarrubio, Charlotte Faye Esquida, Aislinn Carroll, Rowlie John Flores, Hayden Hanshew, Zachary Ishii, Keosokin Kheng, Junially Manatan, Daryl Moreira, Revis Petitt, Ezra James Ramones and Daniel Savage.
