National Honor Society Induction – Dec. 12

stmarys — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:08:04 +0000

The 2012-13 Faculty Council of the St. Mary Honor Society will be nominating high school students for membership in the school chapter, who will be inducted at a ceremony following Mass on December 12th. To be eligible, students must be in 10^th-12^th grades, have a cumulative gpa of 3.25 or better, and meet high standards of leadership, service, and character. Leadership is based on the student’s participation in community or school activities, including holding a position of leadership. To meet the service requirement the student must have been active in service projects in the school and community. Character is measured in terms of integrity, behavior, ethics, and loyalty to the school and to school policies.

This year’s officers are president Maeve Alflen, vice president Kaelyn Tarsa, secretary Nicole Falkiewicz, treasurer Shanna Fortner, induction chair Collin Platts, and service chair Anna Mikowski. The members of the St. Mary chapter provide service to the school on a regular basis, including office coverage during lunch. They also volunteer at the FIA Holiday Store each December.

An earlier student wrote in an essay about membership in the chapter:

“The National Honor Society is made up of students with excellent academic records and extracurricular achievements. However I believe the NHS is more than a reward for making the honor roll. The National Honor Society is about being a good citizen, and helping those around you develop their skills and talents, even if they aren’t the best students. You serve your community and lend a helping hand to those who are less fortunate, help others achieve their goals to become better students and people….”

TRAVERSE CITY, MI (August 29, 2012) – The inaugural Northern Michigan Prep Basketball Showcase with Special Guest Greg Kelser will give high school basketball student-athletes an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of college coaches this fall. The event will be held on October 7th, 2012, at Traverse City West High School. Boys and girls participating in the camp will compete in skill development drills and testing before moving on to 5-on-5 scrimmages. Division II, Division III, and NAIA college coaches will be on-site to evaluate players in person. The event was specifically designed to provide Northern Michigan basketball student-athletes with a competitive “showcase” event scouted by college coaches in their own back yard.

An educational component is also included on the program. Special guest speaker Greg Kelser will share his keys to success with student-athletes and parents. Kelser was captain of the Michigan State University 1979 NCAA National Championship basketball team, was a first-round draft pick for the Detroit Pistons, and currently serves as a broadcast analyst for Detroit Pistons telecasts on Fox Sports Detroit. Parents and student-athletes will also participate in a recruiting education workshop presented by Childress Sports Consulting.

The event is hosted by Childress Sports Consulting, a successful sports and education company promoting the mission of educational athletics.
