On Thursday, May 8, 2017, the German National Honor Society welcomed fresh new inductees in the library after school. A total of 23 students with a 4.0 GPA in German class and a 3.5 GPA overall were inducted into this prestigious society.

The induction started with Frau Böer and Herr Tibbett welcoming students, parents, and faculty, and a short congratulatory speech to all the new inductees. The society officers then spoke of the requirements for induction into the society. All of the inductees stood and followed the pledge led by Frau Böer, as previous members lit every candle, welcoming the new members. German Honor Society President, Dillon Powell, handed out certificates and congratulated the inductees as they blew out their candles. Senior members then received their hard-earned graduation honor cords, which signify their dedication, contributions, and hours of hard work put into the study of German. After the ceremony, inductees and their guests enjoyed cake and refreshments.
