The candle lighting induction ceremony was conducted at a school-wide assembly which was also attended by school district administrators, school board members, and parents of the inductees. Entertainment was provided by the middle school jazz band under the direction of Ben Hayes. The audience heard arrangements of the theme from “James Bond,” “Stand By Me,” and “I Got Rhythm.”
The National Junior Honor Society is sponsored by Lois Sanders who also organized the candle lighting induction program. Jeffrey Sparagana, Superintendent of Schools, was the keynote speaker and encouraged students to strive to their highest potential and never allow anyone to tell them that they cannot achieve.
Eighth grade honor students Dylan Brandt and Khalif Jeter provided the welcome and introduction of the keynote speaker. Students taking part in the candle lighting ceremony included: Yuliza Cruz, Khalif Jeter, Janna Jones, Kyli McKee, Kenny Patel, Emily Iezzi, Heather Swanson, and Nyles Rome.
Ms. Sanders and eighth grader Alivia Lopez led the inductees in the National Honor Society Pledge.

A student must obtain a minimum grade point average of 91% during their sixth and seventh grade years and maintain that average in order to be a member of the National Junior Honor Society.
Additionally, they must complete an application that includes obtaining character references from community and staff members. They must also promise to maintain the high standards of National Honor Society and serve their school and community by participating in various service projects throughout the year.
Under the direction of Ms. Sanders, students work to maintain high standards of academic achievement and community service. Their participation helps to keep them focused from an early age on the goal of high academic achievement. Students who actively pursue academic excellence increase their chances of success in adult life.
Soaad Elbahwati recited a poem to close the ceremonies. New inductees and their parents were invited to a reception held in the middle school library.
