Rocky Hill Resident Inducted Into Northwest Catholic Chapter of the Tri-M Music Honor Society

West Hartford – Rocky Hill resident Megan Grandell ’16 was among the 22 students inducted into the Northwest Catholic chapter of the Tri-M Music Honor Society on October, 2, 2014. To be invited into membership in Tri-M, students must maintain a 3.33 grade-point average, exhibit leadership skills, be nominated by their music teacher, and demonstrate proficiency on their instrument or with their voice. Students should excel in music, and are required to give at least ten hours of service to the community each year.

Director of Choral Music Daniel Avery ’97 quoted Tri-M Music Honor Society founder Alexander Harley in his remarks to those in attendance, saying, “If we strive to cultivate musical sensitivity and perception in our students, we must likewise give adequate recognition for their efforts and achievements, and we must inspire them to strive for higher goals. In what better way than by bestowing upon them life membership in a worldwide honorary organization for musical youth?”

Since 1961, Northwest Catholic’s mission has been to educate the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and soul. Enrollment for the Class of ’19 is now under way, and prospective students are invited to the Open House at Northwest Catholic on November 9, 2014.
