Fork Union Military Academy inducted twenty cadets (three seniors and seventeen juniors) into the National Honor Society in a ceremony in Wicker Chapel attended by the entire Corps of Cadets. In addition, five 8th graders and four freshmen were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.
The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 and is the nation's most prestigious organization honoring students in grades 10 to 12 for their outstanding academic performance, character, and conduct. The National Junior Honor Society likewise recognizes students in grades 6 to 9. This year, the Academy inducted three seniors and seventeen juniors into the National Honor Society. In addition, nine cadets were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. To be eligible for membership, cadets must be in at least their second year of attendance at the Academy. Academic and conduct qualifications for membership in the Fork Union Military Academy chapter are even more stringent than the national guidelines and induction into the NHS or NJHS is one of the Academy's top academic honors.
