Twenty-three middle school students were inducted into The Grosse Pointe Academy Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society on Monday, April 23 during a chapel assembly for parents and students.

Membership in this Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a middle school student. Chapters in more than 5,000 middle schools across the nation strive to give practical meaning to the goals of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship and character.

The selection of the following students was based upon careful consideration of these five characteristics. They are: sixth graders Jalen Battle, Abigail Boll, James Counsman, Dylan Demkowicz, C.J. Elliott, Brion Flick, Christopher Fowler, Amanda Heidt, Meade Maxwell, Liam McIlroy, Phillip Pierce, Gerard Smith, Jacqueline Somes, Kate Wacker, Chandler Warren, Morgan Westwood, Katherine Woodward, and Jeffrey Woolstrum; and seventh graders Regan Chuhran, Wesley DeJoie, Katarina Goitz, Gregory Jolly and Caley Roe.

These middle school students join The Grosse Pointe Academy’s current members of the National Junior Honor Society: seventh graders Emmy Boccaccio, Rebecca Broderick, Henry Brophy, Somers Brush, Kendall Dixon, Alexa Fisher, Samantha Fitzpatrick, Anne Flick, Alex Parker, Elizabeth Penman, Grace Rentschler, Robert Stanley, Susie Stefani, Samantha Sternad, and Kelton Verble; and eighth graders Taylor Bell, Allie Fowler, Mia Jefferson, Libby Krueger, Michael Leahy, Jess Martinelli, Madeline Miriani, Rachel Ochylski, Julia Rose O’Hara, Evan Schwartz, Adam Smith, Emily Spica, Mitch Vermet, Gigi Wells, and Sarah Whitaker.
