Thirteen students were inducted into the National Honor Society on Monday. These members are the charter class of Piedmont Academy’s chapter.

Students in this organization must have an overall average of 90 or above in their core high school classes, make application to the society, and undergo faculty and staff interviews.

All new members recited the pledge to uphold the high purposes of the National Honor Society to which they had been selected. They promised to be true to the principles for which it stands.

They will strive to be at all times a model student and will never knowingly bring reproach upon their school, the pledge said. They will also maintain and encourage high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character.

During the ceremony, the parents and students were inspired by the words of their keynote speaker, Cameron Shiflett. Mr. Shiflett is the executive and youth pastor of Rock Springs Congregational Methodist Church located in Milner.

Faculty council members for the society are Missy Braden, Kenny Roberts, Bobbi Sauls and Misty Smith.

After the ceremony, a reception followed for the students, parents, and faculty.
