The Macon East chapter of the National Junior Honor Society recently held its annual induction ceremony. The National Junior Honor Society is a worldwide organization that consists of middle school & junior high students from around the country. Selection of members is based on five criteria: citizenship, service, leadership, scholarship and character. Each member is expected to maintain a high academic standard while being active in their community through volunteer service projects. The goal of NJHS is to recognize academic achievement and to develop the characteristics of leadership and service. Serving as officers for the National Junior Honor Society are Julia Mathis (President), Addison Little (Vice President), Chase Lashlee (Secretary), Katie Kitchens (Treasurer) and Mary Taylor May (Chaplain).

Congratulations to this year’s inductees: Alexis Davis, Sarah Davis, Colton Lunn, Caden Mobley, Parker Ruskin, Kelsey Smith, Gavin Spencer, and Madison Vocino.
