Bishop Kearney Inducts 195 Honor Society Members
BENSONHURST — One hundred ninety-five Bishop Kearney High School students were recently inducted into the Mater Dei Chapter of the National Honor Society. Eighty-two seniors received permanent membership, and 67 juniors and 46 sophomores were granted one-year provisional membership during a solemn ceremony.
Sister Thomasine Stagnitta CSJ, Kearney’s principal, presented each girl with her membership card and each received a rose from Assistant Principal Geri Martinez, moderator of the chapter.
Martinez installed the senior officers: Rebecca Tom, who spoke of scholarship, urging the girls to use their talents to make a difference; Lisa Esposito, who stressed the fact that a good leader must be a good listener; Billie Wei, who said that character is a multi-faceted part of each person and is a work in progress; and Alessia Giarracca, who reminded everyone that when we bend down to serve someone in need, we stand taller ourselves.
