After several of the present members spoke about the Society’s standards, Mrs. Trethewey, Head of School, asked the new inductees to stand, recite the pledge and come forward to receive their NJHS stole, pin, and sign the official chapter registry.
In closing, Mrs. Trethewey thanked the NJHS moderators, Mrs.Carpentier, Mrs. McCray, and Ms. McKenney for their dedication and commitment to the Society and to the students. She also thanked the present members for their leadership and called upon the new members to take up the torch as school leaders as they continue to exemplify the five pillars of the Society – scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship.
