Deer Park HS Recognizes Top Students At Annual Honor Society Induction

DEER PARK, NY — Deer Park High School celebrated academic achievement and student dedication during its annual “Night of Excellence” honor society induction ceremony on March 26.

The event recognized new members of the school’s English, math, science, and social studies honor societies, highlighting students’ commitment to scholarship, character, and perseverance across disciplines.

“Tonight we recognize a truly special group of students,” Principal Charles Cobb said. “This moment is not defined by a single test, a single assignment, or even a single year. It is the result of sustained effort, discipline, and a commitment to excellence over time.”

Assistant Principal Garret Noblett opened the ceremony, followed by welcome remarks from student leaders representing each honor society. Speakers included English Honor Society President Jasmine Uppal, Rho Kappa Honor Society President Aimen Khan, Math Honor Society President Hiba Amin, and Science Honor Society President Ava Sacarin.

Student officers also led inductees in the traditional honor society oath. Those participating included English Honor Society Vice Presidents Bertrand Mondelus and Kayla Cruz, Rho Kappa Vice President Hasan Asif, Math Honor Society Vice President Ruby Kappel, and Science Honor Society Vice President Kayla Cruz.

“As members of these honor societies, you are now part of a community that values leadership, service, and scholarship,” Cobb said. “You will be expected not only to achieve, but to contribute — to support your peers, give back to your school, and use your knowledge in meaningful ways.”

Additional student officers helped introduce the inductees. Representing the National English Honor Society were Secretary Tanim Ahmadzai and Treasurer Nicolas Flores. Ava Sacarin, secretary, and Eve Valentine, treasurer, represented the National Social Studies Honor Society. Ahmadzai also served as treasurer for the National Math Honor Society, while Khan represented the National Science Honor Society as secretary.

“Take pride in this accomplishment," Cobb said. "You have earned it. “But also recognize that this is the beginning. The expectations are higher, the opportunity is greater, and the responsibility is yours.”
