East Meadow Inducts 66 to National Honor Society

The W.T. Clarke High School Chapter of the National Honor Society recently inducted 66 new members.

At the ceremony at Chateau Briand in Carle Place, parents, faculty, administrators and current NHS members gathered to recognize new members, who were selected based on their ability to maintain high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character.

Inductees will now join their fellow members in upholding these principles by working to better their school and local community through volunteer activities, civic involvement and adherence to the highest standards of morality and ethics.

After new members recited the NHS pledge, they were officially inducted. Superintendent of Schools Louis R. DeAngelo congratulated new members on their induction into the prestigious society, and encouraged them to continue to strive for excellence in all their endeavors.

“I, along with the Board of Education, congratulate you on this distinguished honor,” he said. “You are all here because of your commitment to service and leadership in and outside of your school community. Enjoy this evening among your parents, friends, teachers and administrators and revel in the sense of accomplishment which is rightfully yours.”
