Lawrence Elementary Makes History with Inaugural National Elementary Honor Society Induction!!

Lawrence Elementary School celebrated a milestone in academic excellence this week, officially inducting its first-ever class into the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS). This historic event marks the establishment of a chapter dedicated to recognizing students who go above and beyond in their studies and their service to the community.

The NEHS is one of the most prestigious honors an elementary student can achieve, focusing on four main pillars: Scholarship, Responsibility, Service, and Leadership. The 2026 inductees were selected based on their commitment to these values and their consistent hard work in the classroom.

The successful launch of the Lawrence NEHS chapter was a true community effort. The school extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff, students, shareholders and families who rallied together to make this dream a reality. Whether it was volunteering time to organize the ceremony, donating items and funds, or jumping in to help with logistics, the collective support was instrumental in getting the program up and running. A Special thank you to our very own Mrs. Bily, Mr.Colgren and Ms.Lampe who have made sure this program is a success!!
