Levittown Inducts 87 into National Honor Society

The National Honor Society of Levittown’s MacArthur High School inducted 87 new members during a traditional candle lighting ceremony.

The evening was punctuated with words of wisdom, musical interludes by the string orchestra and MacApella, and the honoring of teachers and staff.

National Honor Society Vice President Joseph Elia, Recording Secretary Samantha Berg, Treasurer Christopher Simonetti and Corresponding Secretary Brianne Giuliano lit the ceremonial candles, representing the tenets of scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship prior to the induction of new members. With the candles lit, the inductees were asked to raise their right hand and take an oath before being called to the stage to receive their certificates.

Before the conclusion of the ceremony, the National Honor Society named attendance secretary Deborah Egan and math teacher David Levy as National Honor Society Community Advocate and Teacher of the Year, respectively.
