Honor Society Inducts New Members
HCS teacher and coach Harry Jarcho last night urged the newest members of the school's chapter of the National Honor Society to "in your own stupid way, save the world today." He added that the world needs saving and we don't have a moment to waste.
Speaking at the NHS induction ceremonies in the school auditorium, Jarcho echoed a quote by Carol Bellamy, former head of both the Peace Corps and UNICEF and a successful Brooklyn politician who once said, "You need to get up in the morning and say, 'Boy, I'm going to -- in my own stupid way -- save the world today.'"
Jarcho also said that being inducted into the honor society was more than another good thing to list on their college applications. He said it was a call to service to others.
The world will get a helping hand from the 21 new members -- all members of the junior class -- of the HCS honor society. They include:
- Dana Bowers
- Alex Brink
- Morgan Brooks
- Gwyneth Davies
- Hannah Freeman
- Steve Gattuso
- Alana Herbst

The NHS was formed nationally in 1921 to honor high school students who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
