National English Honor Society Induction
Clark Public Schools
Arthur L. Johnson High School students were inducted into the newly established National English Honor Society (NEHS) during a ceremony in the school’s Instructional Media Center held on March 23rd. This was the first induction ceremony for this group. Led by Advisors Lisa Rosso and Anthony Caldiero, the ceremony celebrated the achievements of these students. It also discussed the pillars of the honor society and the responsibilities of its newly inducted members.
In order to be inducted, students must have completed two years of English at the honors or AP level. They must have achieved a minimum overall and English grade point average of a 3.0 prior to induction as members.
According to the NEHS website, the NEHS “is the only international organization exclusively for secondary students and faculty who, in the field of English, merit special note for past and current accomplishments. The NEHS motto, “gelast sceal mid are,” is Old English for: “duty goes with honor.” The motto represents one of the earliest forms of our language—it affirms and celebrates an obligation to use one’s gifts in service to others. Service to peers, school, and community is part and parcel of the NEHS mission.”
Advisor Anthony Caldiero stated, “We congratulate all of our new inductees. We look forward to their continued success as they uphold the pillars of NEHS throughout our school community.”
Advisor Lisa Rosso stated, “We decided to start this chapter of NEHS here at Arthur L. Johnson because there was a need to recognize those with such high accomplishments in a rigorous core course such as Honors or AP English. We also want to thank Senior Joe Garbowski for planting the seed of beginning a chapter here last year and accepting the responsibilities of being the President.”
