Ten Subic students inducted into National Honor Society
SUBIC BAY Freeport: Ten high-school students from Brent International School here in Subic were inducted into the prestigious National Honor Society (NHS), an organization established in 1921 to recognize outstanding high school students in the United States.
School principal Garth Wyncott said this was the first time that students from Brent Subic ever made it to the prestigious honor roll, which recognized excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
The NHS previously extended only to students in the United States, Canada, as well as US territories like Puerto Rico.
The new NHS inductees, who come from Brent Subic’s 11th and 12th grades, are mostly children of business locators here and represent various nationalities.
They are: Anna Bang, from South Korea, Jennelyn Boyadjian (England), Dolly Cho (South Korea), Katarina Choi (South Korea), Dennis Choi (South Korea), Andy Chuang (Taiwan), Maxwell Jo (South Korea), Yosuke Michisita (Japan), Gabby Mun (South Korea), and Serene Cuenco-Reyes (Philippines).
The 10 students were inducted recently at Brent Subic’s auditorium before an audience composed of proud parents, fellow students and friends, teachers, and members of the Subic expatriate community.
Besides receiving certificates of membership to the NHS, the inductees who are graduating this year became qualified for a $5,000 award from the NHS, school officials said.
Serene Cuenco-Reyes, a 12th grader from Olongapo City and daughter of an employee of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, is the only Filipino among the Brent Subic students inducted into the NHS.
“This is definitely an honor for Serene and for the other inductees, but I would also say that this tells a lot about how good a school Brent is, and how conducive to excellence the Subic Freeport really is,” said her father Alan.
Brent Subic, a private, co-educational college preparatory school associated with the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, is the only international school in the Subic Freeport.
Now catering mostly to children of the multinational business community here, Brent Subic prides itself with a program that strives to develop individual students as responsible global citizens and leaders in their respective communities.
