On Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022, the Littlefield Junior High School Honor Society inducted 17 new members. Selections were made, based on outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, service, and citizenship. To be inducted, a student must have an average of 90 or above in their academic classes. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate all of the qualities.
Sophie Garcia, a current member of the N.J.H.S., opened the program with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then Lyric Rios, vicepresident of the N.J.H.S., welcomed everyone. Pete Christy spoke to the N.J.H.S. members and their families.
N.J.H.S. president, Tyson Carr, explained that membership in this organization has been earned by the demonstration of the five qualities held in high esteem by the Society.
With a candle-lighting ceremony, the officers then gave the meaning of each quality and explained how the members are expected to use each in their lives. The officers include: president, Tyson Carr; vice-president, Lyric Rios; secretary, Brittani Wright; treasurer, Iris Hernandez; and parliamentarian, Damon Salazar.
After Tyson led the inductees and the current members in the N.J.H.S. pledge, Adam Solis, junior high principal, presented certificates to each inductee. The current members were then recognized.
Lyric Rios closed the ceremony.
