Three of Huntington High School’s academic honor societies have already held their annual induction ceremonies and three more will hold theirs in January as dozens of scholars join the fold of the respective organizations.
Huntington’s National Honor Society, English Honor Society and Science Honor Society held their induction ceremonies in the fall. The coming round of inductions will feature the Math Honor Society, Tri-M Music Honor Society and Social Studies Honor Society.
