Fourteen Prairie View High School students were inducted into the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society on Monday, March 6, in a ceremony in the district’s Performing Arts Center.

The new members, including several sophomores, joined 13 current members, including nine seniors who were recognized in the ceremony.

Senior NHS members honored during the ceremony included, from left, Samantha Watson, Meadow Stainbrook, Jenna Thompson, Ryleigh Ogan, Alexandria Knight, Ronnie Davis, John Burk, Addison Bloodgood, and Kadin Waterman, who did not attend.

NHS officers Alexandria Knight and Collin Pope reminded the new inductees and the audience of the the four “pillars” that are used to determine a student’s acceptance into the chapter: character, scholarship, leadership and service.
