ACS is pleased to recognize 207 students in the 1st through 12th grades who distinguished themselves academically and have been named to the first semester Honor Roll for the 2018-2019 school year. In addition, ACS recently inducted seven middle school students into the school’s chapter of the National Junior Honor Society.
Mrs. Sara Coates, faculty advisor for the ACS honor societies’ chapter, and Mrs. Karen Oblen, Chief School Administrator, welcomed family members and guests and praised the hard work of the students during the March 12 induction ceremony in the school gymnasium. Current middle school National Junior Honor Society members Tommy Ellison, Cruz Lewis, Reyna Lewis, Jada Logan, and Paige Noble spoke on the four principles of the NJHS – service, leadership, character, and scholarship.
Each new inductee received a certificate, signed the official registry, and lit a votive candle signifying his or her membership in the Society. Pictured above, from left to right, are: Annia Pierre (8th), Tiana Purdy-Phillips (8th), Evangelina Kim (7th), Ryleigh Martin (7th), Zachary Fosbenner (7th), Jackson Gayeski (7th), and Ethan Haynes (7th).
On the Honor Roll, the elementary students in grades 1-5 who earned a 95% average or higher received the Highest Honors designation and students who received an 85%-94% average received the Honors designation. Middle school and high school students in grades 6-12 who earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 or higher at the end of the 1st semester received the Highest Honors designation.
