Society in the charter year, 1921. The first attempt to form a national high school academic honors organization were initiated at the 1919 annual convention of the National Association of Secondary School Principals in Chicago. The fi rst chapter of the new society was chartered in 1921 at the Fifth Avenue High School in Pittsburgh, Pa., the school at which Edward Rynearson, considered the father and founder of NHS, was principal. Malden is believed to have been perhaps the fi rst Massachusetts high school to obtain an NHS charter, when it initiated the John W. Hutchins Chapter at Malden High School. By 1922, Massachusetts had added 14 new NHS Chapters. Each year since, Malden High School’s National Honor Society has selected new members, often the selections being made after requesting recommendations from MHS educators and other staff after worthy students whose academic grades met the established criteria were nominated. Formal inductions then follow at a later date. For the remainder of this school year, the new NHS selectees will be required to participate in both NHS group and individual community and civic service projects, some assigned and others planned individually. Typical service projects include tutoring programs for underclassmen, reading development for elementary students, fundraising for local or national charities, blood drives, serving meals at local food banks and servicing the needs of the elderly in the community. In addition, selectees are required to maintain the high level of academic performance that earned them acceptance, in addition to continuing to exhibit high character as school citizens. “We are extremely proud of our new National Honor Society selectees and we thank NHS advisor Paul Marques for his continued service in guiding our top academic association at Malden High School,” MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo said. “He [Marques] does a tremendous job in accepting recommendations of students from our staff and then guiding their service projects after selections,” Mastrangelo added. “These students and Mr. Marques are a credit to our school community.” Following are the newest National Honor Society selectees from Malden High School: Orit Abel Belen Quispe Almendro Yonglin Chen Shawn Chen Ryan Coggswell Giselle Dessert Nicholas Duggan Dante Federico Victoria Gammon Larissa Retamero Granja Danielle Harrington Kyle Huang Saia Hussain Abdullah Khan Ada Li Jessica Li Keira Lin Erica Littlejohn Thalia Louigene Christina Mui Lily Nguyen Daniel O’Toole Ilyes Ouldsaada Guertternnensje Pierre Rene Emma Strano Hailey Tran Isabelle Tan
