Recently, The Roslyn News has written about the championship performances by Roslyn High School athletic teams, mainly the track team, which won a Nassau County title.

As always, academics is where the school district shines. That longstanding tradition was punctuated by the recent selection of students into the National Honor Society.

On Feb. 8, no less than 173 Roslyn High School students were inducted into that prestigious society during a ceremony at the high school. The students came from all four grades at the school.

Roslyn High School currently has 1,040 students in its student body. That means over 10 percent of its students made the society, an impressive achievement.

Selection into the National Honor Society is based on fidelity to the four tenants of the society: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. All students must have a 90 or above unweighted average to be admitted.

“The Roslyn High School National Honor Society Induction Ceremony is a time-honored tradition where we recognize and celebrate the new inductees because they have demonstrated a commitment to self-challenge, academic achievement, and community activism,” said National Honor Society Advisor Laura Wenzel. “This year’s group of students have excelled in areas of scholarship, leadership, and community participation. It was a great evening and I look forward to seeing the continued dedication of the NHS members going forward.”

The National Honor Society was established in 1921 and is now over 100 years old. It is recognized as the nation’s premier organization established to recognize high school students.
