WATKINS GLEN, Dec. 15, 2025 -- The Odessa-Montour High School chapter of the National Honor Society added eight students to its ranks Monday evening at an induction ceremony in the school's Fetter-Brown Auditorium.

Each was introduced by an existing member of National Society. They include Rilke Arrance,Vanessa Wood, Connor Foggie, Lauren Signor, Kyler Eriksen, Alexander Campbell, James Halpin, Ella Kramer, Caleb Collier, Samantha Van Horn and Everly Zinger.

Kyler Eriksen, president of NHS, served as emcee, with remarks from the O-M High School Principal, Mrs.Kelsey Pinette -- who urged the new inductees to "continue to seek opportunities for growth and service."

Existing members Collier, Van Horn, Campbell and Zinger spoke about the four pillars of National Honor Society -- Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service -- and each then lit a corresponding candle.

The evening concluded with photos snapped by friends and relatives, and with snacks in the hallway outside the auditorium.
