The Stoughton High NHS chapter added 35 new members during Wednesday night's ceremony held at the high school auditorium.
Stoughton High honored not only some of its most successful students, but accomplished and well-rounded individuals Wednesday night, at the annual National Honor Society induction ceremony, held in the SHS auditorium. A combined 35 students - 22 juniors and 13 seniors - were inducted into the Stoughton High chapter of the National Honor Society. They join the 27 current members of the Stoughton High NHS, who were inducted last year.

AMAZING CHRISTMAS DINNER: Stoughton's senior citizens were treated to an amazing Christmas dinner Saturday afternoon, and the cost was a mere three dollars. It comes from the hard work—and monetary contribution of a great organization called Stoughton Friends for Seniors. Their President, Dennis McCarthy, thanked all the volunteers from his hard-working Board for once again presenting a delicious meal, raffles, and fun to a sold-out crowd of hundreds of Stoughton Seniors in the downstairs hall of the Immaculate Conception Church. The youth of the Town were also involved in a big way.

The Stoughton High NHS chapter added 39 new members during Wednesday night's ceremony, and inducted seven honorary members, comprised of current and former Stoughton educators.

But she told this year’s inductees to the Stoughton High chapter of the National Honor Society that this was something they already knew—and something they already did. The 39 students —27 juniors and 12 seniors— who were inducted into NHS during a ceremony held in the SHS auditorium Wednesday night, achieved success in and out of the classroom, as honor roll students, sports captains and class officers; as section leaders in band, editors of the school paper and volunteers in various religious groups; and as peer mediators, camp counselors and youth sports coaches. “You have emerged here as leaders,” Principal …
