Old Quarry NJHS Inducts 45 Students, Continues Service to Community

Seventh-and eighth-graders were recently inducted to the middle school's National Junior Honor Society.

The following article was submitted to Patch by Jennifer Egan, co-sponsor of the  chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. It was written by eighth-grader Taylor Campos, the NJHS public relations chair.

Old Quarry’s National Junior Honor Society, following its annual tradition, recently inducted 35 seventh-graders into its upcoming 2012-2013 chapter and 10 eighth-graders into the remainder of  its current 2011-2012 chapter. 

These students have exhibited respectable qualities of leadership, citizenship, service, scholarship and character throughout their Old Quarry years and, upon submitting a formal application to the organization, were invited to become official members.
