On Tuesday, November 12, the National Honor Society Induction Mass and Ceremony was held at Notre Dame. 

Principal Patrick Browne, Associate Principal Greg Masarik and Sr. Pat Clement, interim president of NDA, officially welcomed 55 juniors and seniors into the national organization..

“National Honor Society is important because it makes you maintain your GPA and allows you the opportunity to tutor other students,” said senior Rachel Bal. 

Membership allows juniors and seniors who excel in academics along with service the opportunity to be recognized. 

Students in NHS must maintain a certain GPA while also looking for involvement in activities outside of school such as volunteering, sports and clubs.

Many students reach their service hour requirement by tutoring other students in the school,

going on the school service trips and volunteering around Green Bay. 

The students and parents were led by Fr. Raj Christian in mass before the induction ceremony. Students were also involved in the mass and induction readings. 

During the induction ceremony six officers from the class of 2020–Bridget Kapic, Cassidy Noble, Joseph Massabni, Scott Russell, Ben Zabriski and Courtney Romes–did readings on the core principles of NHS–leadership, character, service, and academics–and handed out certificates.
