Bremen HS NHS Inducts New Members

Bremen High School is proud to announce that its National Honor Society inducted 79 new members! NHS is a privileged organization for juniors and seniors, with a grade point average of a 4.4 or higher. The Veteran senior members of Bremen’s NHS nominated Bremen math teacher Mr. Peter Matushek to be the induction speaker for 2015. Many members are excited by his upbeat personality, and enjoyed hearing his speech.

To be elected into NHS, students must first submit a written and electronic application. After this, applications are looked over by the Faculty Council to meet, discuss, and approve new members. Letters are then sent out to these newly approved members. The final step is to be formally inducted into Bremen’s chapter of National Honor Society.

National Honors Society is a highly esteemed nationwide organization that was founded in 1921. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Not only are NHS members recognized for their accomplishments, but also to be an active member students are challenged to develop further through involvement in school activities and community service.

Bremen Chapter President Javier Covarrubias states, “It is an honor to be President of the NHS here at Bremen. Being a part of this nationally recognized organization is something I am already proud of, but having been elected to this position by some of the most exemplary and intelligent students in the school is truly humbling.”

Many members take great pride in this club. Senior Brooke Pisciotto adds in addition to her pride in NHS, “It (NHS) reminds me to be a well-rounded individual and that my hard work pays off.” For more information on the Bremen High School Chapter of NHS contact Mr. Stephens at Tstephens@bhsd228.com.
