Good evening everyone and welcome to um a really special evening for the high school. Um tonight is the induction night for the class of 2027 of the National Honor Society as well as members of the class of 2025 that were able to enter into the National Honor
Society before they graduate. Um, it is a really special night for our school, for all of you, our families and friends and guests that are here tonight. To all of our members of the National Law Society sitting in the back rows, we welcome you and thank you for your leadership in NHS. And of course, to everyone dressed in gold in yellow, we
welcome you as the newest members of the National Honor Society. Tonight is a special night for so many of us because there may be many of us in this room who were also inducted into the National Honor Society when we were in high school. Um, when I was at Brockton High,
class of 1990, in my junior year, I was inducted into National Honor Society. And I still remember that ceremony and how proud my parents were for really the accomplishments of the academic um excellence that I was able to to show
and really how the school was able to show that recognition through this membership. The membership you're about to receive tonight is so very different than a membership in many other organizations that you can become a part of because of the history around NHS.
What the pillars mean of NHS that you've had to uphold the ideals of all of them even to be sitting in the seats that you're in because it's not just about academic. That's what gets you into the door. It's about all the other pieces of what you bring to your school and to the community that really does set you
apart. which is why tonight you're sitting here ready to be inducted into the National Honor Society. So I want to thank our officers here on stage who will be really the MC's for the evening and of course to our amazing adviser Mrs. Pitsley who works so incredibly
hard with the National Honor Society especially in our reworking it. You notice it's just we have older children who graduated from here. This event always was used to be done in the spring and we really did a lot of research about how other schools do it and to really maximize the experience of NHS
members getting in early in junior year so they can really become a part of the organization in the important work that it does but also to make sure that our seniors may have an opportunity to get in and also use it for their college essays and applications. So for the
senior members of our inductee pool tonight, we send you a special congratulations because you did it. So without further ado, I want to turn it over to our MC's. But before I do that, just a quick note of direction for our um soon tobe members. As we begin the
National Induction, I want to make sure for all our inductees, you're going to be called up in groups. When your names are called, you're going to come up onto this side of the stage as we do for other events. As the NHS member or officer, excuse me, um, calls your name, you will make your way to see Mrs.
Pittsley, who will be standing here in front of the presentation table to give you what is called your shingle or your certificate, but in NHS it's called your shingle, as well as your your pin. You will then come up here and stand on the X here and then Mr. Sliano will be able
to take a picture of you. for all our families that are here tonight, your your um your child, your your grandchild, um your niece, nephews, they have written a statement of thanks and you're going to be able to hear what they have written in their own words. And of course, our offices will be sharing those words. We wanted to make
sure the fact that when you're standing at the X having your picture taken that everyone will be able to hear exactly what you wanted to say in your thank yous and appreciation that as soon as your picture is done, you'll come right behind the podium. you'll make your way down the stairs. Either set is fine and
you'll make your way back to your seat as well. So, um, with that being said, at this time, I'd like to call the president of the National Honor Society to the podium to continue with the ceremony this evening, Lily Brah. Good evening, Mr. Branigan, Mrs.
Pittsley, members of the faculty, students, parents, and guests. Welcome to the fall 2025 National Honor Society induction ceremony. We are gathered here tonight to formally recognize those students who have achieved academic excellence, have been confirmed by the faculty of our school for successfully
completing their candidacy, and are now being inducted as new members of our NHS chapter. For current members and those former members who may be among our guests, we hope that this will serve to remind you of the standards of excellence you two are charged with maintaining as members of the nation's oldest, largest, and most prestigious
student recognition program. Our chapter is proud to have been inducting new members since 1958 and with today's ceremony indicates the continuing emphasis on excellence that we represent for our school and community. Throughout the year, members of our chapter serve as role models for other
students. In addition to the strong academic records which establish the eligibility for membership, our chapter members are leaders of many student organizations and we serve our school and community through many activities including pure tutoring sessions at the high school, the middle and elementary
schools, bake sales to benefit our local Habitat for Humanity, clothing and shoe drives for local charities, a new collaboration beginning this spring volunteering our time with the local Milboro Little League, and community service hours through many events in We are proud of this record of
accomplishment and welcome these new members who bring new energy in support of our continuing work as NHS members. It is at this time that we proclaim to all in attendance that membership in the Middleboro High School and prior chapter of the National Honor Society has been earned by these candidates through the
effective demonstration of four qualities that serve as standards for the society. Our officers of this chapter will now review these qualities to the candidates. The society is built upon the following pillars. scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Would Khloe Degan please light your
candle and come to the podium? Scholarship is derived from a passion for knowledge. Knowledge to understand, to solve, to create. We gain knowledge through learning experiences both in and out of the classroom. Scholars look for opportunities to learn. They understand
that learning takes effort and that understanding and judgment are rooted in knowledge. Being an NHS member strengthens your commitment to expand your curiosity and continue your journey towards becoming a lifelong learner. In the words of American poet James Russell Lel, true scholarship consists in
knowing not what things exist but what they mean. It is not memory but judgment. Would you traverse please light your candle and come to the podium? Service can be defined as the act of voluntarily giving your time and using your skills and talents for the benefit
of the community. Through our service efforts as individuals or as a group, we build empathy as we learn more about those in need or crisis. Service also fulfills one of our responsibilities as citizens. As a National Honor Society member, you will be presented with
opportunities to deepen your understanding of servant leadership and to group your passion for helping others. Will Lily Price please light your candle and come to the podium? Leadership is your ability to communicate in ways that influence and inspire others to act. It is not
exclusive or inherited through elect election or designation. Leadership is set setting the example in your words and deeds to motivate others to follow. It is about engaging people while guiding their dedication direction to a common goal. Effective leadership happens when you begin to know yourself
as a leader and possess the essential skills necessary to lead. NHS members are leaders in and out of the classroom. With Lily Brham, please light your candle in front of the podium. Character is the sum of your morals, values, and ethics that makes you the individual that you are. Your character
is influenced by your experiences and helps guide you through life every day. Your character is displayed in your actions and the choices that you make. It is seen in the respect you have for yourself and the respect others give to you. Measures of character lie in qualities such as responsibility, trustworthiness, and self-control. Being
a member of NHS gives you the opportunity to role model quality character and to be a positive influence on the character of others. Each student chosen to be inducted tonight possesses each of these admirable traits. They now belong to a society with prestigious members from President Gerald Ford to astronauts,
business executives, notable authors, and Nobel Peace Prize winners. As members of the National Honor Society, they will be viewed as the role models of not only our school, but our community. They should be proud of how far they have come and all that they have accomplished. And so it is my pleasure to welcome all of you into the
Middleboro High School chapter of the National Honor Society. At this time, I would like to invite our vice president, Khloe Degan, to say a few words. Good evening. As the current vice president of the National Honor Society, I would like to say a few formal thank yous. First, I would like to thank our
adviser, Mrs. Pitley. She is a true role model and has helped us every step of the way. I would also like to thank all of our current members. Our society would be nothing without each and every one of you. I also wish to thank every NHS member who faithfully participates to support and represent every student
in every classroom every day. This is our emblem, the keystone in the flaming torch. As a builder uses a keystone to ensure firmness and strength in an arch so our lives can be kept true to the highest ideals of mankind by the virtues represented by the letters on our keystone. Scholarship, character,
leadership and service. The flaming torch is an emblem of our purpose to lead by the light of the ideals which the National Honor Society has set before us to serve our school by fostering and encouraging high ideals. This is our purpose. Our inductees have given a quote of gratitude to family and
friends which will be read by the National Honor Society officers. I now invite Lily Rice to begin the following inductees. Please stand and join Mr. Bren on the side of the stage. Ariana Aruza, Tiffany Albaneseise, Christian Alexandria, Trey Baker,
