The annual Palmetto Christian Academy National Honor Society induction ceremony was held November 20 in the Worship Center. Students and parents of the new members gathered together to celebrate the students' accomplishments.

Clary Vance, NHS chapter adviser, and Anne Gregory Horton, president, planned and led the ceremony. Anne Gregory Horton was assisted by Rachel Jackson, vice-president, and Madison Broach, secretary, and Alyssa Godwin, treasurer, and Benjamin Salem, chaplin. "As president of the National Honor Society, I, along with the other officers and Mrs. Vance, worked hard to make sure the ceremony went smoothly. I could not be more proud of this year's inductees. They are a great class, and I know they will do great things this year in both the school and the community," says Anne Gregory Horton.

Membership in the society is determined by leadership, scholarship, character, service, and citizenship. To be considered for membership, sophomores and juniors must maintain at least a 4.2 GPA and demonstrate strong, admirable characteristics both inside and outside of PCA. National Honor Society chapter is involved in two local service projects in the community - the Ronald McDonald House and Water Missions International. Sophomore, Colin Johnson, describes, "It was an honor to be inducted into NHS and acknowledged for my academic achievements and accomplishments."

Congratulations to our new inductees: Julia Anderson, Rachel Andrews, Reese Baker, Ella Banks, Chase Benfield, Mary Grace Booker, Bella Byham, Paisley Dybowski, Fei Fleury, Colin Johnson, Morgan Kammer, Andrew Lamm, Maggie O'Hanley, Charlee Olson, David Pabst, Thomas Patrick, Trinity Rocha, Kaden Sorensen, Will Vandergrift, Lexi Walker, AnnaJaye Walters, Bess Weinheimer, and Hannah ZumBrunnen.

5th Grade Scientists Enjoy "Sea Ya' Later" Experience

main image

Mrs. Shogren's 5th grade science class dove into oceanography, explored sea floor topography, discovered how the moon influences ocean tides, conducted experiments to understand the difference between currents and waves and learned about erosion and the importance of protecting our fragile coastlines. Ms. Jennifer Aikman from "High Touch High Tech: Science Made Fun", did an excellent job of explaining God's oceans and the intricacies of oceanography.

When asked why Ms. Aikman's visit to the classroom was special, Ava Davenport stated, "Its fun to try different things." Tabitha Hewitt said she enjoyed "working together as a team." Ross McMillan remarked that he really likes conducting the hands-on experiments to reinforce the lesson in addition to listening about and seeing the information.

It is clear that this High Touch High Tech lesson on the ocean made a big splash!
