NHS seniors gather together after receiving their stoles.

On Thursday, June 3, the National Honor Society held its annual senior banquet at the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club.

Dr. Burch, Mrs. Stegner, and president Alejandra Benitez recited their speeches to the members and their families during dinner. After dinner, the light blue National Honor Society stoles that are to be worn during graduation were presented.

“Presenting the stoles to the seniors tied everyone together after a great year and recognized them for their membership,” said Benitez. ”This year it was an especially close group of outstanding people.”

To end the evening, a picture slideshow, put together by junior Katherine Grabar, was projected. The slideshow featured photos of NHS members at various volunteer events such as mission trips to Mexico, bake sales and charity events.

“The slideshow really closed the night well,” gushed member Jenn Wynkoop. ”There were so many great pictures of all of us that I forgot we even took, and it made us sentimental.”

A lot of hard work was put into this, and that hardwork did not go unnoticed.

Although not all of the seniors and their families could attend, the banquet proved to be a successful night. A special thanks goes out to all of the faculty, members and parents who made this night possible.

As an officer this year, Kari Hill gives everyone a quick speech on why she would be the right choice for president.

On Thursday May 27, National Honors Society held their elections at lunch in Mrs. Stegner’s room. The positions available were president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer.

Alejandra Benitez, the current NHS President, organized the meeting and explained how each of the candidates would give a quick speech, explaining why they would be the best for the job. Juniors Megan Hickey and Kari Hill are running for president, both having been in NHS since sophomore year.

“I love being a part of NHS because it tries to get more and more people to take part in community service, and it would be a great honor to be the president of this great club,” explained Hickey.

Erik Peterson, Holly Nagasugi, and Amy McElroy are the candidates for vice president. Candidates running for secretary are Ali Garrison, Katherine Grabar, and Teryn Igawa. Noelle Bock, Lauren Labac, and Simone Titelbaum are running for treasurer. Results will be posted this week.

“The only thing I do not like about this five day weekend is how we have to wait until Wednesday to find out the results,” excalimed Garrison.

More officer positions will be available for the rest of the club. Nominations for officers will be held in two weeks.
