In a candlelight ceremony on Tuesday night, April 27, nine sophomore students at Harlem High School were inducted into the Harlem Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS). In addition, the senior members of the group were honored for their years of service.

According to their advisor Crystal Doney, the new NHS inductees displayed evidence of leadership, service, character, and scholarship by maintaining a 3.25 or above grade point average.

Along with inducting the sophomores, the Harlem Chapter honored their seniors by presenting them with the stoles and honor cords that they will wear on graduation day. Four of the seniors served as NHS officers this year: Alaynee Hawley as President, Alexis Bigby as Vice President, Kiahna Cochran as Secretary, and Zach Kinyon as Treasurer.

Doney explained that normally the NHS members are very active in various community service activities, but due to Covid restrictions, not many opportunities were available in the past year. Despite that barrier, the group managed to help pack and deliver Christmas stockings for the elementary and junior high students. Currently, they are fundraising for Smile Train, an organization that "empowers local medical professionals with training, funding, and resources to provide free cleft surgery and comprehensive cleft care" in various countries. Interested individuals can find more information at smiletrain.org.

"They will be collecting for Smile Train until May 13th. If you are interested in donating or have more questions, feel free to contact me or any one of the NHS members," Doney said.

After the ceremony, the juniors in the Chapter served refreshments.
