The Darlington School Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 32 new members at a ceremony in Morris Chapel on Thursday, March 1.
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 Michael Reid Blackmon, Caroline Branyon Cordell, Madeline Gaines Dillmon, Madeline Grace Hurley, Chinedu Andre Mbakwe, Jasmine Khiandra Nicole Sparkman, Frederick Karl Swiger III, Philip Kyle Woford, Rong Ye; juniors Amelia Grace Allen, Hayden Diane Baldwin, Kathryn Anne Chunn, Olivia Joann Harper, Margaret Lee Inman, Morgan Lila Ivester, John Akpaunimye Ugbe, Giulia Verzino, Grace Katherine Cutler Wagshul, Smith Patrick Wheeler, Yidong Xu, Richard Edward Yunger III; and sophomores Leigh Chelsea Barnes, Kasey Nicole Barnett, Molly Giles Brewer, Abigail Marie Burris, Julianna Chloe Duck, Veeka Marie Malanchuk, Joseph Franklin Manning II, Jalyn Morgan Massey, Chandler Joseph Pittman, Xiangyi Sun, and Dawson Shag Williams.
