CARIBOU — Twenty-three students of the Caribou High School were inducted into the National Honor Society during a ceremony on Nov. 1.
“The NHS is more than just an honor roll society,” explained Caribou NHS President Devin Ballard. “The NHS rules for membership are based upon a student’s outstanding performance in the areas of character, scholarship, leadership and service.”

During the ceremony, Emma Duplissie-Cyr sang the song “People Help the People” as performed by Birdy and was accompanied by Ashley Richards on the piano; NHS Recording Secretary Hannah Hebert, Executive Council Member Meredith Sleeper and Induction Ceremony Chair Haley Hunter performed a dance to the song “The Chain” by Ingrid Michaelson.
The annual NHS ceremony followed an elaborate dinner in the cafeteria, chaired by NHS member Olivia Sleeper.
