North Royalton Middle School (NRMS) celebrated the leadership and contributions of 48 eight grade students during the annual Honor Society Induction Ceremony held on Thursday, September 25. The event recognized students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and community service throughout their middle school years.
To be considered for this prestigious honor, students must have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher during their fifth and sixth-grade years, as well as the first three quarters of their seventh-grade year. Additionally, candidates were required to exemplify the "BEAR Way" - a set of values that emphasize mindfulness, kindness, integrity, and resilience.
Principal Erin Calabrese shared her admiration for this year’s inductees, saying, “Our students exemplify what it means to be leaders at North Royalton Middle School. Their hard work in the classroom, along with their commitment to living out our ‘BEAR Way’ values, makes us incredibly proud. We look forward to seeing the many ways they will continue to grow, inspire others, and positively impact both our school and the greater community.”
At the ceremony, students heard speeches from North Royalton High School National Honor Society (NHS) President Emilie Kuntz and NHS Vice-President Leah Prezenkowski.
The induction process also included a personal element, with students completing an essay and application forms during the fourth quarter of their seventh-grade year. This comprehensive approach ensures that Honor Society members not only excel academically but also embody the character traits valued by the school community.
The ceremony served as a testament to the hard work and dedication of these exemplary students, while also highlighting the supportive educational environment fostered at North Royalton Middle School. As these students join the ranks of the NRMS Honor Society, they carry forward a tradition of excellence that will undoubtedly inspire future classes to strive for similar achievements.
