St. Margaret's Announces National Honor Society Inductees

14 St. Margaret's students were recently inducted into The National Honor Society, an academic honor society whose purpose is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in secondary school students.

1999 National Honor Society Inductees: (l. to r., back row) Bo Hammond, Carolyn Stephenson, Laura Austin, Catherine Redfearn, Marshall Lloyd (faculty sponsor), Katie Farmer, Lesley Newman, Sara Pirtle, Hannah Bowen, Jung Park. (front row) Jeong Min Kim, Julie Kim, Elizabeth Sadler, Carver Weakley, and Virginia Moncure.

Scholarship, leadership, character, and service are all NHS hallmarks, according to Latin teacher and NHS faculty sponsor Marshall Lloyd. Members of the NHS provide service to the school as role models and attend meetings throughout the school year. "This year's inductees are a well-deserving group of high achievers," says Mr. Lloyd. "St. Margaret's is proud to see these girls receive national recognition."

The National Honor Society selection committee selects members based on the attributes listed above. St. Margaret's 1999 National Honor Society inductees are: seniors: Hannah Bowen (Mechanicsville), Julie Kim (Seoul, Korea), Lesley Newman (White Stone), Jung Park (Seoul, Korea), and Elizabeth Sadler (Louisa); juniors: Laura Austin (Warsaw), Catherine Redfearn (Kinsale), Katie Farmer (Millers Tavern), Bo Hammond (Tappahannock), Jeong Min (Seoul, Korea), Ginny Moncure (Tappahannock), Sara Pirtle (Champlain), Carolyn Stephenson (Tappahannock), and Carver Weakley (Montross).
