National Honor Society Induction Ceremony at Big Spring High

Big Spring ISD held their National Honor Society Induction Ceremony Monday, Oct. 5. A group of 16 Big Spring seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society alongside a group of 13 Big Spring juniors during the event.

The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization for high school students and bases their selection through four pillars of criteria: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The organization was established in 1921 and encompasses an estimated one million students participation across the nation.
