MENDOTA - The Mendota High School Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 21 students into full membership of the National Honor Society on Monday, Feb. 3 at Mendota High School.

Other current members participating in the induction ceremony included Vice-President Cole Stremlau, Co-Secretaries Rachel Brandner and Devin Wade, and members, Victoria Arteaga, Aaron Brandner, Ashleigh Collins, Gavin Glazebrook, and Haleigh Wendel.
The initiates received a pin, certificate, and candle as symbols of the National Honor Society.

To qualify for the National Honor Society at Mendota High School, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 on a 4.0 scale. Then teachers rate each student on their observations of the candidate’s service, character, and leadership. The final selection is made by a committee comprised of 7-9 faculty members, an administrator, and the National Honor Society sponsor. The new members and families are then notified of the selection.
Students’ names are on file at the offices of the National Association of Secondary School Principals as well as in the school’s file. Members wear a gold NHS stole at graduation and have a special designation on their diplomas.
