East Meadow High School feted a wealth of students who were inducted into the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society earlier this month.

A total of 132 students were honored at the school’s annual induction ceremony at the Milleridge Cottage in Jericho. Parents and faculty, as well as current National Honor Society members were on hand to welcome the new members, who were selected based on their ability to maintain high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character. Inductees will now join their fellow members in upholding these principles by working to better their school and local community through civic involvement and volunteerism.

Superintendent Louis DeAngelo congratulated the new members and encouraged them to always lead by example. “The choices you’ve made and the actions you’ve taken have earned you a place of honor in this prestigious society,” DeAngelo said. “By your actions and your commitment to excellence, you have earned the distinction of membership in a society to which only approximately 10 percent of students nationally gain entry. Enjoy this evening among your parents, friends, teachers and administrators and revel in the sense of accomplishment which is rightfully yours.”

After being congratulated by DeAngelo and Principal Richard Howard, the new members received honorary certificates.
