The annual induction of the Seymour High School Karen Housewright Tipton Chapter of the National Honor Society took place October 21st.
Membership is an honor earned by a student. Selection for membership is based on outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, and service.
In 1921 the National Association of Secondary School Principals passed the resolution to form a National Honor Society. Today over 15,000 chapters exist across the United States.
The Seymour Chapter is recognized nationwide and all acknowledge its integrity, value, and importance. Membership in this society is a worthy goal for all students.
The Seymour High School National Honor Society faculty council members are ­Christi Carpenter, Tami McCroskey, Joyce McFall, Mary Tankersley, and Sherri Whaley.
Mr. Haggard is the advisor which means he meets with the students and performs all bookkeeping entries.
Once a student is inducted into the National Honor Society, he or she becomes a member for life unless his or her grades fall below academic requirements. At that time the student is placed on probation and is given a semester to bring his / her grades back to the required 3.5.
Once the student graduates, he or she becomes a graduate member. The University of Tennessee has a collegiate level of the National Honor Society. A number of Seymour NHS members have been inducted into that group, continuing to illustrate the superior traits academically, through leadership, character, and community service.
Congratulations to all the new members.
