The newly formed Science National Honor Society inducted their first members to the society on Wednesday, January 16. The ceremony began with the presentation of colors and Pledge of Allegiance by Menchville’s JROTC class, followed by a brief welcome from Mrs. Rhonda Taylor and Menchville’s principal, Bobby Surry. Dr. Rodney Culverhouse, who is a Secondary Science Supervisor, shared his perspective on science as a guest speaker before the inductees were called.

Following the induction of the members, four of the new inductees made a speech about the four main components of science and their own experiences: curiosity, failure, perseverance, and discovery. Karan Singh delivered the speech about curiosity, followed by Hannah Dahl with failure, Christopher von Schmidt-Pauli with perseverance, and Kaylie Manglicmot with discovery.

Once the speeches ended, the inductees lined up at the front of the auditorium for the traditional pledge and candle lighting ceremony, where the inductees officially became members of the society. Mrs. Tina White ended the ceremony with words of hope for the new members, and families gathered in Cafeteria 1 for a short reception with cake and donuts, where many new members gathered to take pictures with their friends and families.
