Hoover Middle School held its National Junior Honor Society ceremonies for 2013 recently.
The school's jazz band, led by Mr. James Bergler, the Hoover band teacher, opened the event and entertained the NJHS induction proceedings. The band is an elite group of eighth-grade musicians that meet every day for a 20-minute rehearsal and perform throughout the year at concerts and other community activities.
NJHS is an organization which requires students to earn at least a 3.5 GPA for two marking periods. They must also show excellent citizenship to be invited to join the group. Once a part of the NJHS, members must keep both their GPA and citizenship at that level to remain a part of the group. There were a large number of inductees this year from the seventh and eighth grade classes.
In addition, the NJHS families recently attended a Detroit Tigers' game. The tickets were donated to the NJHS by the Tigers, with thanks going to Teaching Assistant Heather Betke and Teacher Kathy Miller.
