In her closing remarks, acting president, Ms. Frances Taimanao, congratulated the students for their accomplishments. She also reminded the new inductees that being in the NEHS and NJHS goes beyond academics and prestige, “Remember, this title that you hold now as a member of the honor society does not mean that your work is done. It is just the beginning and you have a lot of work ahead of you. So, I challenge you to continue to strive towards even higher goals. The most important thing to remember is that each of the pillars mentioned earlier are the sum of many individual decisions. They embody a positive attitude backed by purpose and meaning.”


Ms. Taimanao concluded her remarks by acknowledging that the foundation of each student’s success is grounded by the support of each student’s parents, “ At the end of this ceremony, thank your parents for all their love, untiring support, and patience. And from all of us at Mount Carmel School, the Bishop, Board members, we thank you parents and guardians for your support, understanding, and patience during this school year. It is the hardest year since this pandemic started, but we are trying and doing our best to make things happen for our students. Your partnership with us is very important for the success of your child’s education.”
