Thirty-three students from Ellenville High School’s Class of 2019 were inducted into the National Honor Society during a ceremony on May 24.
The number of inductees was nearly double of last year’s total. The school has been inducting students into the society since 1946.
National Honor Society Advisor Jennifer Schoonmaker said in a press release that induction of students is based on a group recommendation of the Faculty Council.
“Inducted students must meet the stringent standards set forth by NHS and must also be exemplary in the areas of service, leadership, character, and scholarship,” she said.
Schoonmaker added that society members sponsored a “Coffee House Night” of live performance art this year, raising money for the Holiday Helping Hands program. The program buys gifts for those in need in Ellenville. The group also conducted a flower sale to raise funds for Hurricane Maria recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. In addition, society members helped out during parent/teacher nights and open houses, guiding guests around the building as needed.
The inducted students included Cora Aragon, Rageena Chander, Madison Corvinus, Hailey Damms, Andrew Dawson, John Doros, Megan Eckert, Tiler Ferentheil, Katherine Flores, Elaina Garritt, Hadassah Graham, Kyle Guiney, Gregory Guzman, Roman Hrynovets, Joshua Jacobs, Jason Lonstein and Vanelys Malave. Also inducted were Jonathan McCombs, Jonathan Oquendo, Benjamin Pidel, Caleb Quick, Isabella Ramirez, Nick Rekuc, Cassandra Reyes, Ashlyn Rivera, Megan Ryan, Bianca Sorbara, Kathleen Spoto, Colleen Stevens, Marissa Storey, John Unverzagt, Mia Unverzagt and Erma-Lee Williams.
