National Honor Society Inducts Newest Members | | |
|
|
With the lighting of candles and bestowing of pins, 30 students were officially inducted into the National Honor Society during a special ceremony on Wednesday evening.
Congratulations to all!

As we continue in the first week of Advent, the air is thick with hope and anticipation — a sentiment far deeper than the excitement of gifts under a decorated tree. For Christians, this season is a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of the Incarnation, a profound event where the divine entered our world in a tangible way. | |
