West Babylon High School Celebrates Newest National Honor Society Inductees

WEST BABYLON, NY — Joined by district administrators and members of the Board of Education, West Babylon Senior High School proudly celebrated its National Honor Society (NHS) induction ceremony on Dec. 9, formally welcoming nearly 100 students into the prestigious organization.

The evening began with remarks from the NHS officers, who reflected on the organization’s four pillars — scholarship, leadership, service, and character — and the responsibilities that come with membership.

This year’s honorary guest speaker was teacher Ms. Jano, who shared words of encouragement and emphasized the importance of integrity, perseverance and community service as students continue their academic and personal journeys.

Senior High School Principal Steve O’Leary delivered heartfelt remarks recognizing both the inductees and their families. He praised the students for challenging themselves academically while demonstrating strong moral character, noting that these qualities will continue to guide them toward future success. O’Leary also expressed gratitude to the parents and guardians in attendance, acknowledging their years of support, late nights, busy schedules and unwavering dedication to their children’s goals.

“As I look out at all of you, there is no doubt about your academic accomplishments,” O’Leary said. “However, I am even more impressed by your work ethic, your problem-solving abilities, and, most importantly, your commitment to holding yourselves to high moral standards. These are the qualities that will lead you toward a full, rich and happy life.”

Each inductee was called to the stage individually to receive a certificate before the group collectively recited the National Honor Society pledge.

West Babylon Senior High School congratulates all newly inducted members and celebrates their continued commitment to excellence.
