To conclude the ceremony, our NHS chapter welcomed and recognized Mrs. Ensminger, an ELA teacher at West Central Middle School, as our guest speaker this year.
Everyone appreciated her jokes, insight, and advice for all of those in attendance.
This year, our chapter has volunteered at our local nursing home, picked up trash along our Adopted High Way, and volunteered at various other community events throughout the year.
The community looks forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future.
