Sixteen juniors joined the ranks of the school's academic excellence organization

HCS teacher Terry Monty gave some of the school's brightest students a lesson in grammar tonight.

She was the speaker at the annual induction ceremony for the HCS chapter of the National Honor Society, and explained when she asked each of the 16 new inductees what they saw themselves doing in the future, the all used nouns:

marine biologists;
architects;
lawyer;
occupational therapist;
photojournalist;
