Ninety-seven students from Bethpage High School were inducted into the Bethpage chapter of the National Honor Society on Thursday, November 3, 2022. A special ceremony was held in the Bethpage High School auditorium where the inductees were seated on the decorated stage and were honored.
Inductee Ashley Garnar kicked off the evening with the National Anthem, which was followed by remarks from Bethpage High School Principal Nicholas Jantz. Mr. Jantz congratulated the students, along with their families.
“Students, we understand that obtaining membership into this prestigious society has not been easy,” he said. “Each day you have made sacrifices and have challenged yourself to excel in the classroom. You’ve donated time to help others in the community and have served as role models to the student body. Thank you.”
Susan Sciglibaglio, Bethpage High School’s National Honor Society advisor, also addressed the new members and like Mr. Jantz, echoed the rigorous process that one must go through to be admitted into the society. This includes providing a full student portfolio of diverse accomplishments and activities.
Each of the new officers presented and lit a candle for one of the society’s pillars: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. After taking the oath, each new inductee was announced at the podium by fellow new member Marnes Richemond. They signed their name to the National Honor Society’s book and were each congratulated by Mr. Jantz.
The installation of the National Honor Society’s new officers was held at the conclusion of the ceremony. New officers include President Georgia Karaisarides, Vice President Raymond Ahmadhi, Vice President of Tutoring Manuel Jimenez and Svetlana Mughnetyan, Secretary Erin O’Boyle, and Treasurer Matthew Tarabokija.
Bethpage Schools congratulates all the inductees on their membership into the National Honor Society!
