Deer Park High Inducts 92 Students Into National Honor Society

DEER PARK, NY — Deer Park High School held its 63rd annual National Honor Society induction ceremony on Nov. 14 and welcomed 92 new members.

"Our chapter members are leaders in many student organizations, and we serve our school and community through many activities," NHS President Pavani Pointi said. "We are so proud of this record of accomplishment and welcome these new members who bring new energy in support of our continuing work as NHS members."

Additional speakers included vice president Tonika Sikder on scholarship, secretary Hannah Legname on service, treasurer Lissha Varghese on leadership and Class of 2025 valedictorian, Reza Zorakhsh, on character. Class of 2025 salutatorian Adib Shaikh led the Pledge of Allegiance.

"This is always one of the most enjoyable events I come to throughout the course of the year in my duties as the legislator representing the Deer Park community, mostly because it renews my faith in that we have tomorrow’s leaders sitting right in front of us," said Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly, the evening’s special guest. "What makes this community so strong is that we have such terrific young men and women who are not only dedicated to their scholarship and their academics, but they’re also dedicated to this beloved community."
