COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater High School chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 39 new members – 10 seniors, 17 juniors, and 12 sophomores – during socially distanced ceremonies Sunday evening at the Coach Floyd Eby Gymnasium.

The large number of inductees included students that would have been welcomed into the NHS ranks last year had the ceremony not been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They join the twelve currently active NHS members from the Class of 2021, led by Chapter President Mia Rzepka, Vice President Alyssa Bach, Secretary Kelly Warner, Treasurer Laynee Paarlberg, Historian Lissbet Ramos, and Advisor Brian Stevens.
