Congratulations to Midkota’s new National Honor Society members! The newest inductees are Vanessa Vollmer, Will Spickler, Kylie Johnson, Mason Iverson and Mackenzie Miller. They were inducted last Wednesday, March 15th in a ceremony at the high school. The guest speaker for the evening was Ms. Holly Utke, CEO of Dakota Central. She gave an excellent real-life message about growing up, perseverance, being a leader and giving back to others in service that all students can apply to their lives as they transition to life after high school.
Many thanks goes to the current NHS officers, Ms. Brandt, Ms. Peterson, Mrs. Johnson for helping make the event a success.
Again, CONGRATULATIONS to our newest members of the National Honor Society!
Have a great week!
