North Babylon Honor Society inducts 110 new members

Joined by family, friends, board of education members and central office administrators, North Babylon High School held its annual National Honor Society Induction Ceremony in the auditorium on Nov. 12. A total of 110 new inductees were formally welcomed into the school’s chapter.
National Honor Society advisor Shelley Seeno opened the ceremony and welcomed attendees. Both North Babylon High School Principal Dr. Jonathan Klomp and North Babylon School District Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth Graham shared congratulatory remarks, commending the students for their academic excellence, leadership, character and service. 
“It is a pleasure to stand before you tonight as we celebrate the induction of our outstanding students into the National Junior Honor Society,” Dr. Graham said. “This ceremony not only honors academic achievement, but also recognizes the pillars of leadership, character, service, and scholarship. “During the first few months of the school year, our faculty and staff have centered our work on the theme ‘United in Purpose, Unlimited in Potential.’ I can think of no better embodiment of that message than the inductees before us this evening. They are united in their pursuit of excellence in all they do, and their potential, both individually and as a group, is truly limitless.”
North Babylon High School officers followed with reflections on each of the four pillars before lighting their corresponding ceremonial candles. One by one, inductees were called to the stage to be recognized. High school science teacher Amy Bongiorno was inducted as an honorary member. The ceremony concluded with all candidates reciting the National Honor Society pledge, officially marking their induction into this prestigious organization.
