Mother Seton School is pleased to announce that on September 9, nine eighth graders were inducted as the newest members of the Archbishop James Bayley Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). These students were selected based on their academic achievement and strong character: Tierney Burns, Sofia Canadas-Fraga, Trent Faller, Philip Field, Danielle Golden, Presley Green, Kaleb Vaughn, Lucy Whittington, and Grace Williams.

The NJHS is an international student organization that recognizes high-achieving students in grades 6-9. Mother Seton School’s NJHS chapter, based on the organization’s five pillars, aims to create enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote leadership, develop character, and encourage good citizenship in the students.

NJHS members perform acts of service throughout the school year, which is in keeping with Mother Seton School’s mission of building solid Christian values such as service to others. “These students have shown their willingness to work to offer service not only to Mother Seton School but to the local community,” said Christopher Cosentino, faculty advisor to the Archbishop James Bayley chapter. The chapter recently received the Pillar Award for Excellence in Service in recognition of their service projects.

“I was proud to have the opportunity to induct these students into the NJHS,” Cosentino added. “They are great role models for the younger students in demonstrating the scholarship, leadership, and citizenship we inspire our students to strive for.”
