Crestwell School inducts its first National Junior Honor Society class
Crestwell School held its first National Junior Honor Society induction on March 10, 2026, welcoming fourteen middle school students as the founding members of the school's chapter. Inductees are recognized for scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship, not grades alone.
"This is a proud moment for our school community," said Maria C. Niebuhr, Head of School, adding that the chapter "reflects what we see in our students every day." It joins a growing set of student leadership programs at Crestwell, including a Student Government established the same year.
