Receiving awards, being placed on the Honor Roll, or becoming a member of the Honor Society are many ways to recognize students for their academic achievements. This year, two seniors received awards for being outstanding academic students. The two students are Suraj Baadkar and Tarek Ibrahim.
Tarek Ibrahim joined Schutz in 5th grade and has maintained a great academic record since then. He was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), and in the eleventh grade he was inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS). Tarek was recently awarded The Rensselaer Medalist Scholarship by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. The scholarship covers four years or a total amount of $60,000.
Suraj Baadkar joined Schutz last year, and he has proved himself to be a good academic student. He won the ECIS Award for International Understanding last year, and he was elected as President of the Senior Class. Suraj is very proud of this recognition, and he is looking forward to winning more awards in his future educational career. Not only has he won an award but he was also offered a 50 percent scholarship for Clarkson University, which amounts to $11,000 annually.
On September 17th, an assembly was held to recognize the Honor Roll students (grades seven through twelve). A total of twenty-seven students made it to the Honor Roll last quarter. Congratulation to all! Academic success is also an eligibility criterion for membership in both the NJHS and the NHS.
What is the Honor Society? Many students at Schutz think that it is simply a group of students who get good grades. This statement is completely wrong because there are five qualities all NHS and NJHS members must posses. The five qualities are scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship.
Scholarship is a value that shows that a member is a capable academic achiever. Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 85 percent qualify to join the NHS or NJHS if they also exhibit the other qualities.
Service must be shown by the students if they want to join the Honor Society. The students should offer service to their community in terms of help, time, and effort. This quality is shown in students who do community work for free and out of their heart.
Another value is leadership. Student leaders set examples for others. A value that all Honor Society members must have is character. Character is shown by being responsible, respectful, and by being mature. The final value all members must have is citizenship. Citizenship is shown by being aware and concerned to improve the community. The activities a member joins must show that he or she is a responsible contributor to the activity he is involved in.
