“It’s hard for me to believe I’m in my 12th year as advisor for the National Honor Society,” stated Mrs. Stephanie Gifford during the induction ceremony. “Every year the induction and each member reminds me of how fortunate I am to work with such an enthusiastic and passionate group of students. Within the past year, we’ve volunteered more than 400 hours by assisting with 7th grade orientation and hosting a Santa’s Workshop for 25 CCS K-2 students. We also worked with community members to staff aid stations for the Battenkill bike race, supported the Greenwich Tractor Parade, helped with the Cambridge Valley Pride Event and more. No words can adequately convey how much I appreciate each member and all they do to make our school, local and larger communities a better place. Every year, I look forward to continuing our work together and watching each member grow as they commit themselves to making the world a better place.”
The National Honor Society (NHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921.
In addition to the student induction, each year NHS students select one faculty or staff member to be recognized at the ceremony. This year, high school social studies teacher Andrew Salisbury was recognized. Congratulations, Mr. Salisbury!
“This year’s National Honor Society inductees represent the very best of Cambridge, students who combine academic excellence with compassion, leadership and integrity.” said Caroline Goss, secondary principal. “Their achievements remind us that true success is measured not only by grades, but the difference they make in their school community.”
