Abram High School were inducted as new members of the National Honor Society in a ceremony held at the school on April 29. Members were selected by the chapter's Faculty Council for meeting high standards of character, leadership, service and scholarship.

Students inducted were: Michael Bonney, Samantha Boyd, Katelyn Buck, Jake Carlton, Forrest Collins, Magnolia Dixon, Hillary Eustis, Magalloway Field, Ashley Gordon, Hope Gould, Jenna Hamlin, Grace Hooke, Alana Knapp, Kaelyn Lecander, Devin Littlefield, Emily Luce, Serena Richard, Amanda Richards, Dylan Tisor, Emmaline Twitchell and Jillian Withee.

"We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body. National Honor Society members are chosen for and then expected to continue their exemplary contributions to the school and community," said Lori Littlefield, chapter adviser.

MSAD #58 has had an active NHS chapter since 1938. Each year, the chapter sponsors several service projects for the school and community, which in the last few years, have included hosting fall and spring blood drives, walking in the Relay for Life event to raise money and awareness in the fight against cancer, serving water to runners at the Sugarloaf Marathon and assisting at the district-wide middle school Cinco de Mayo dance.

The National Honor Society ranks as one of the oldest and most prestigious national organizations for high school students. Chapters exist in more than 15,000 schools and since 1921 millions of students have been selected for membership. This national student recognition organization is proudly sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
