Hopwood Middle School inducted 24 new members of the National Junior Honor Society last Feb. 19 at Taga Hall of the Saipan World Resort.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s guest speaker was Dr. Roque Indalecio, an active member of the honor society when he was a student. He is the recipient of the prestigious CNMI Teacher of the Year award. Indalecio has a passion for education and aspires to work toward progressive improvement. He is one of the youngest Public School System educators with doctorate degrees in education. He currently teaches at Marianas High School. In his encouraging address, Indalecio told the NJHS inductees to never give up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay you embrace each day with a sense of wonder and joy, remembering to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the journey of life. Know your worth and believe in the profound impact you can make in this world. Remember, you will always have someone rooting for you, someone who will forever be proud of all your accomplishments.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her message to inductees, NJHS Hopwood chapter advisor Esco Anne Ulloa said, \u201cCongratulations to our inductees who have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and for consistently striving for knowledge and understanding! Your dedication to scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship, and character serves as an inspiration to their peers and a testament to the importance of lifelong learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Marilet Tuzon, NJHS president, \u201cBeing a part of this society provided me with an opportunity to develop leadership skills, improve my academic performance, and engage in community service projects. Through NJHS, I learned the significance of teamwork, responsibility, and service. The society motivated me to strive for excellence in my academic studies and inspired me to contribute positively to my community. Overall, being a part of NJHS was a great experience that helped me grow as a student both personally and academically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irish Ann San Nicolas, Hopwood math teacher and NJHS advisor said, \u201cOur NJHS members have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence, consistently striving for knowledge and understanding. Their dedication to scholarship serves as an inspiration to their peers and a testament to the importance of lifelong learning. I am immensely proud of the accomplishments of this group of students. They are not just students; they are leaders, scholars, and compassionate individuals who are destined to make a positive impact on the world. As their advisor, I have no doubt that the future holds incredible achievements for each and every one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopwood principal Victorino Borja gave the welcoming remarks. Vice principals Karen Manuel and Ben Seman led the inductees to their pledge membership and gave the closing remarks, respectively. NJHS Faculty Council members and advisors, Hopwood teachers, staff, and parents graced the induction ceremony. This year\u2019s theme is a quote from one of the most prominent leaders in the Civil Rights Movement and political philosopher, Martin Luther King Jr., \u201cIntelligence plus character. That is the true goal of education.\u201d<\/p>\n
