Verona High School inducted 27 juniors and five seniors into the National Honor Society on May 30, 2013. The achievement is based on the student’s scholarship and character, as well as the leadership they have shown and their service to their school and community.
Each student is inducted by a member of the VHS faculty and the teachers’ speeches about the students are a lesson in lives worth celebrating. They chronicle not only the students’ efforts to learn in the classroom, but the steps they have taken beyond the classroom to further than learning. They portray students who manage to manage high grades and leadership in sports and extracurricular activities.
Please click on each student’s name to read about their accomplishments. We will add more speeches as we receive them from the teachers.
