Opening remarks were delivered by NHS President Jaliya Kerney, Vice President Destiney Robinson, and English Language Arts teacher Ms. Meghan Muye. Ms. Muye reminded those in attendance that “tonight is a celebration of these students,” setting the tone for an evening focused on achievement and growth.
Following the opening remarks, current NHS members introduced each inductee, sharing highlights of their academic accomplishments, extracurricular involvement, and personal interests. One by one, each student was presented with a special green gown and gold cord, symbolizing their achievements and membership in the organization.

The National Honor Society, the nation’s oldest and largest student recognition program, was founded in 1921 in Pittsburgh at Fifth Avenue High School. This year’s inductees now join a proud tradition of excellence at Sto-Rox and across the country, serving as leaders and role models within their school community.
