STE. GENEVIEVE – The Ste. Genevieve Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society held its annual induction on Monday, April 25, 2022 in the Ste. Genevieve R-II Performing Arts Center.
In addition to the strong academic records that established the eligibility for membership the NJHS chapter members are leaders in many student organizations and serve their school and community through many activities including volunteerism, fundraising for charity, and hosting social events.
This year’s inductees.
Chapter officers President Sophie Garcia, Vice President Jacey Bauman, Secretary Cecilia Mooney, Treasurer Kate Rowland, and Historian Millie Huffman led the ceremony and installed 31 new members with the traditional NJHS pledge and presented them with their membership pins. Also in attendance were nearly 42 returning members, students who continue to live up to the five standards of NJHS: knowledge, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. These returning members have volunteered a collective 1,253 hours in our school and our community since the end of September 2021.
Each year, the NJHS members nominate one teacher and one staff member to be recognized as the NJHS Teacher of Honor and the NJHS Staff Member of Honor. These are employees who uphold the ideals of the organization and serve as positive examples for SGMS students every day.
This year’s NJHS Teacher of Honor is Mr. Justin Roth, an SGMS science teacher. Nominations described how Mr. Roth makes learning fun, how he is always there to help, how he motivates and inspires students, and how he provides a warm and safe learning environment. Congratulations to Mr. Roth on this recognition!
This year’s NJHS Staff Member of Honor is Ms. Mallory Wipfler, an SGMS secretary. Nominations describe how Ms. Wipfler brightens everyone’s day by making them smile and laugh, how she always makes students feel welcome and how she builds strong relationships with the student office aids. Congratulations to Ms. Wipfler on this recognition!
