The National Honor Society is advised by Mrs. Stephanie Gifford. “For the past 11 years, I’ve had the great fortune to work with enthusiastic and passionate NHS members.,” said Gifford. “No words can adequately convey how much I appreciate each member and all they do to make our school, local and larger communities a better place. Within the last year we volunteered over 400 hours to our school and local organizations by assisting with a variety of events, including the Battenkill Conservancy’s Fun Festival, Battenkill Valley Pride Festival & 5K Fun Run, the Cambridge Valley Turkey Trot, the Tour of the Battenkill bike race and more. I look forward to expanding upon this work throughout the rest of the year.”
The National Honor Society (NHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. This year marked Cambridge’s 90th annual induction ceremony.
In addition to the student induction, each year NHS students select one faculty or staff member to be recognized at the ceremony. This year, high school English teacher Jason Sutliff was recognized. Congratulations, Mr. Sutliff!
“Our NHS chapter was founded in 1934, a time when the values of scholarship, service, leadership and character were just as relevant and essential as they are today,” said Caroline Goss, secondary principal. “Through the years—through wars, advancements in technology, social movements and new eras of education—those four pillars have remained steadfast, shaping leaders and changemakers across generations. As we look back at 90 years and honor the rich history of this chapter, I encourage each of our new members to carry that legacy forward. I have the utmost confidence that they all take pride in what they’ve achieved as they embark on this new journey.”
