The Darlington School Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 40 new members at a ceremony in Morris Chapel on Monday, March 20.
Each year, sophomores, juniors and seniors who have been at Darlington for the equivalent of one semester or more are eligible for induction. Students are eligible if their overall high school average is at least 87.5. Candidates also must have attained at least one major leadership role either through election or appointment, and must have been involved in two or more service activities per year.
Students who meet these requirements must complete a student activities form to provide information regarding academic awards, character, leadership roles and service activities. Then, in accordance with national rules, a committee of five faculty members, chosen annually by the head of school, selects new members of the society.
“The National Honor Society is excited about the addition of our newest members who have excelled in scholarship, character, leadership and service,” said Chad Woods, Upper School math department chair and college adviser. “NHS has been active in doing service projects for the Rome community this year and we look forward to seeing these new members become contributors to future service opportunities.”
New members include seniors Arin Lea Broderick, Sara Blair Dickinson, Kelsey Shalise Garrett, Dongkyu Kim, Madeline Grace Padgett, Tanner Adkinson Shadday, Madison Noyal Vaughn, Yirou Zheng; juniors Claire Fleming Anderson, Liuhan Chen, Jacqueline Jones Cline, Ishani Minesh Desai, John Franklin Druckenmiller, Emily Grace Edwards, Mary Anna Fricks, Linyun Gu, Sophia Kalusche, Guangji Liu, Jackson Wade McClain, Ansley Claire McCoy, Robert Pierce Monroe, Long Minh Nguyen, Makuochukwu Yvonne Obiakor, Annabelle Grace Scarborough, Rainey Camille Scarborough, Abigail Elizabeth Sklar, Abigail Caroline Smith, Randall Markham Smith Jr., Amanda Caroline Temples, Hillary Ann Tunnell, Lilley Stott Washburn, Nolan Tyler Wilson, Wei Wu; and sophomores Thomas Francis Atha Jr., Andrew Stanley Brunt, Jackson Connor Eady, Jia Xuan Han, Jiaqi Jiang, Marissa Joan Joseph, and Satyatejas Gavva Reddy.
