Imagine what it would be like to have the school’s brightest English minds, best reporters, and most entertaining actors all in one room. That is the outcome when the induction ceremonies took place in the auditorium.

The induction of new members to the National English Honor Society took place on April 27 at 7 pm. Inductees include freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who had to complete certain guidelines to be accepted.

The ceremony consisted of the National English Honor Society, the Quill and Scroll Honor Society, and the International Thespian Society (ITS). The Quill and Scroll represents the publication works like the Harbinger, the Pioneer, and Brillig. The ITS represents the theater arts.

The guidelines to be accepted into the NEHS include an A average in all English courses, a teacher recommendation regarding character and classroom contribution, and enrollment in at least one English elective. Applications were due by April 2.

Besides the requirements, NEHS advisers look for more in a student when deciding who to accept.

“We look for an eagerness and a passion for English and literature of all kinds. Members must be able to express themselves through words and have a desire to share their literary interests with others,” said NEHS adviser and English teacher Sharon Place.

The NEHS has also put on many events this year that have furthered the community. The little free library outside the auditorium along with hosting holiday readings at elementary schools and Hereford’s first annual African American Read-in in support of Black History Month were conducted by the NEHS.

“[NEHS] allows students to give back to their community through service learning and gives them a unique setting in which they can discuss and foster new literary ideas,” said Place.
