Addison Trail students who serve as officers of the National Honor Society discuss the NHS pillars (scholarship, service, leadership and character) during the Addison Trail NHS Induction Ceremony on Dec. 3.

On Dec. 3, 81 junior and senior students from Addison Trail were inducted into the Addison Trail Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS), and 49 seniors were reaffirmed. Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the event was hosted virtually.

Being inducted into the NHS involves more than being on the Honor Roll and maintaining good grades. Addison Trail’s chapter accepts individuals based on their outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership and character. Those criteria for selection form the foundation on which the organization and its activities are built. To be eligible for Addison Trail’s NHS, students must be enrolled in four full-credit courses and maintain at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA.
