Five Inducted into National Honor Society

(Yona, Guam) In a special ceremony on May 13th, Guam Adventist Academy inducted five members into the newly formed GAA Chapter of the National Honor Society. Incoming seniors, Joshua Salas and Miguel Han, as well as incoming juniors: Hannah Choi, Crystal Larrew, and Amber McKeever were welcomed by Principal Torres. The students were selected from a group of applicants who met the grade point average of 3.5 or above. The NHS Advisory Council also looked at character, community service, and leadership experience. When all of these categories were factored in, it was these five that made the cut. According to the NHS Advisor, last school year’s applicants could still be nominated this coming year, if they make the gpa—at least. “Students get nominated by virtue of their gpa alone. Meeting an expected standard in the other three categories will really determine whether or not they will become a member.” NHS members will plan community service activities for the coming year, as well as work to publicly promote the importance of character, service, leadership, and academic excellence. Only students in grades 10 through 12 are eligible to be a part of the National Honor Society.
