Academic Excellence Celebrated at National Honor Society Induction Ceremony

St. Thomas is proud to recognize our latest membership into the acclaimed STH Chapter of the National Honor Society. The distinction was achieved through a selection process based upon exemplary scholarship, enthusiastic service, steadfast leadership and uncompromising character – qualities associated with the NHS since its founding in 1921.

The nation’s premier organization established to identify and encourage outstanding high school achievement also celebrates characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy.

Participation is both prestigious and a responsibility, with selected students expected to continue to reflect the NHS core standards, as well as serve the school and their fellow students as academic leaders, role models and tutors.

“All in the St. Thomas campus community salute our champion scholars for their resolute efforts toward excellence,” said Principal Aaron Dominguez ‘96, Ph.D. “They model the power of resilient work and embody the Basilian values of goodness, discipline and knowledge. As they continue their college preparatory experience and spiritual journeys, I encourage them to embrace the joy of inspiring others to realize their owns dreams.”
