Art Honor Society Inducts New Members

March 8, 2023

Huntington High School’s Art Honor Society embraced 18 new members during the organization’s annual induction ceremony.

The inductees include Stephanie Alvarado, William Berry, Isabella Careccia-Johnson, Alison Cordova, Harry Cuadra, Anibella Fazin, Sofia Gomez Calderon, Amalia Heinz, Molly Heffernan, Grey Hodgkinson, Jada Joseph, Isabella Lanfranco, Angelique Mendoza Ulloa, Toni Reyes-Sorto, Aine Rimkunas, Jack Semelsberger, Sebastien Simon and Stephen Spina.

The group is led by co-Presidents Talia Addeo and Koi Crowder, Secretary Aria Hannah and Treasurer Isabella Careccia-Johnson. Art teacher Jenna Rinaldi serves as the faculty advisor.

The induction ceremony was attended by Superintendent James W. Polansky, Principal Brenden Cusack and Assistant Principals Gamal Smith and Jully Williams along with dozens of parents and family members.

The purpose of the Art Honor Society is to inspire and recognize those students who have a profound love or art and demonstrate creative talent. Members work to promote art in the school, community and internationally through various activities and service projects. They help one another to achieve the highest standards and share the importance of art education throughout the district, the community and beyond.

Huntington High School’s chamber choir under the direction of music teacher Victoria Garbarino performed a lovely rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Refreshments were served in the auditorium lobby following the ceremony.
