NHS CHAPTER INDUCTS NEW MEMBERS

On the evening of March 24th, the Winston Chapter of the National Honor Society held a ceremony to induct its newest members into the organization.  National Honor Society (or NHS) is a nationally recognized organization that partners with the National Association of Secondary School Principals to recognize those students in schools who exemplify the characteristics of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service.  Only a small percentage of high school students nationwide are inducted into the organization.

This year, NHS inducted Drew Neth, Maggie Farrell, Thea Nelson, Ashley Noel, and Austin Rhoades.  The inductees were honored at a brief ceremony and reception held in front of family and friends in the school cafeteria.  NHS is sponsored by Ms. Abigail Yohn and Ms. Linda Littrell.  Congratulations to all members and their families.  It is a Great Day to be a Redbird!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MARCH STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

The Faculty of Winston High School would like to congratulate our March Students of the Month:  Chandler Asher and Thea Nelson.  This award is chosen by the teachers and administrators of Winston High School to recognize students who exemplify the excellence we look for in academics, character, and attitude.  The strength of our school is based upon our students, and these two prove that It is a Great Day to be a Redbird!

WINSTON STUDENT SELECTED FOR STUDY ABROAD

The Winston R-VI School District is proud to announce that one of its students has been selected, out of a pool of national candidates, to attend a student exchange program this summer in Japan.  Delilah Gadd, a Junior at Winston High School, was selected  to attend the FCCLA/Kikkoman Japanese Exchange Program.

This opportunity was provided to Delilah through the FCCLA.  Delilah is a very active member of our local FCCLA Chapter and currently serves as our Chapter President, and served as Regional Reporter during the 2015 school year.  Delilah began working on the application for the program at the beginning of the school year and has had to complete several essays and interviews as she progressed through the process.  Delilah was selected as one of 14 students nationally to be awarded a full-ride scholarship for the program valued at $12,000.

Delilah will leave in early June to spend a three day orientation period in California to learn about Japanese culture and traditions to prepare her for her cultural experience.  She will spend approximately 6 weeks in Japan before returning from this once in a lifetime opportunity.

We at Winston are excited to be sending one of our best and brightest out into the world.  Congratulations to Delilah and her family, we know you will represent your school and community well.  Go make us proud and let the world know that, It is a Great Day to be a Redbird!
