North Springs Charter Inducts 38 Students Into National Honor Society

North Springs Charter High School has inducted 38 students into the National Honor Society.

Founded in 1929, the society is the nation’s oldest, largest and most prestigious secondary school recognition program.

The students were selected by the North Springs faculty to become members after demonstrating four, long-standing qualities that serve as standards for the National Honor Society: scholarship, service, leadership and character. Open only to juniors and seniors, North Springs’ NHS members serve as models for other students.

“All inductees have achieved a 94 grade point average to be eligible for membership and serve as leaders and volunteers throughout our school, the community and in many personal endeavors; many are peer tutors, student ambassadors, mentors and interns,” said chapter advisor and Advanced Placement chemistry and science teacher Karen Allsteadt. “Students are also expected to contribute community service hours after becoming members.”

North Springs congratulates the following 2014 inductees: Claire Akins, Diana Alaras,Daniel Brehm, Kadey Burstein, Claire Cummiskey, Danielle Dinberg , Luqiao Dong, Andrew Feld, Madeline Fleischmann, Elizabeth Gilbert, Jamie Greenberg, Meriah Grove, Seth Hochman, Sanjay John, Rachel Kaufman, Erin Kowalsky, Robert Lalo, Alice Lever, Amber Liu, Natalia Mayo, Rachel Miller, Luke Muehring, Emil Muly, Rebecca Neish, Amanda Peskin, Alexa Rakusin, Andreas Redd, Joiya Reid, Sarah Saltzman, Lily Sandler, Kevin Santillan Hernandez, Abigail Szabo, Tatyanah Tolley, Hima Velaga, Ilana Wayne, Nicole Webb, Larry Yanovich and Valeriya Zhurakovskaya.
