33 Brookwood students inducted into National Honor Society
Brookwood School inducted 33 new members into the Louise Jeanes Hines Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) this week. Students in grades 11 and 12 who demonstrate scholarship, service, leadership and character — the four pillars of the National Honor Society — are eligible for membership.
Students must meet or exceed high GPA standards for induction. Additionally, they must demonstrate a pattern of service to the school and local community. They must also demonstrate leadership and strong character.
The ceremony, one of the oldest traditions at Brookwood, has remained essentially the same since 1973, when the school’s first NHS members were inducted. The students who have been selected for induction remain a secret until the ceremony. Current members of the NHS “tap” the new members by approaching them and letting them know they are being inducted.
“The National Honor Society Induction Ceremony is such a special tradition at Brookwood,” says Headmaster Dr. Randy Watts. “It is steeped in tradition and really gives merit to the importance of the occasion. As a student-led ceremony, it not only showcases the strengths of the students who are being inducted, but it also showcases the leadership of the current inductees. I am proud of the accomplishments of our students!”
From the class of 2026, new National Honor Society members are Halle Ramsey, Lulu Watkins, Brylee Bates, Sims Wetherbee, Wimberly Jones, Pearce Hightower, Jack Tuten, Avery Tate, Wyatt Vaughn, Rett Groeneveld, Jarrett Parr, and Mason Howell.
From the class of 2027, new members are Reagan Burrus, Audrey Flowers, Brianna Lenz, Catherine Stewart, Juliet Rhodes, Abeha Chema, Ava Bodell, Spencer Jacobson, Wyatt Davis, Samuel Yokley, Kenji Sun, Brinson King, Wesley Warren, Keane Katherine West, Gavin Pardo-Ellis, Austin Baker, Charles Ball, Harrison Chapura, Stafford Davis, Brooks Clay, and Emmett Street.
