The Junior-Senior High School National Honor Society inducted 81 new members during a traditional candlelight ceremony, held in the auditorium on Oct. 12.

After Kailyn Marra sang the national anthem, Principal Salvatore Alaimo described the inductees as “future leaders whose membership is a responsibility,” while Society Co-President Camryn Warsaw explained, “Leadership is about inspiring others and wanting to make a difference.”

Officers Camdyn Glover and Camryn Warsaw (co-presidents), Gianna Fazzolari (vice president), John Costanza (secretary) andCharlotte Rozycki (treasurer) then lit a corresponding candle as they each described the tenets of the society: leadership, character, service and scholarship.

Each of the new inductees then lined the auditorium’s perimeter with lit candles as they recited the honor society pledge, and then walked across the stage to receive their certificates, marking their membership in the National Honor Society. The officers then presented Eastport-South Manor Jr.-Sr. High School social studies teacher Christopher Costanzo with an honorary membership into the society for being instrumental in the success of the inductees and other members and for truly embodying the ideals of the Society.
