Indian Lake Middle School is celebrating 30 years of academic excellence.
A total of 18 new inductees from the Indian Lake Class of 2028 were recently inducted into the ILMS Academic Hall of Fame.
The ceremony was conducted with friends and family in front of the entire ILMS student body. This was the 30th year for the Academic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
ILMS Co-Principal Missy Mefford told the group middle school is hard, so having this much success is something to be proud of.
“Even though it was tough, these students came to school everyday and gave their best. I’m sure they had days that didn’t go so well. Maybe they didn’t feel well or they didn’t get a grade they were hoping for.
“But they adjusted their sails and got back on track. They chose to be strong leaders and behave in a way that modeled good decision making. They chose to rise above challenges and find success.”
The new inductees are: Chloe Borgerding, Bronx Dickson, Isabella Everhart, Myah Everhart, Alyson Hamilton, Jordan Henderson, Hayes Henry, Lane Hill, Alivia Kinney, Lane Kipker, Maddison Leiss-Breakey, MacKenzie Miller, Aaron Rapp, J.J. Shirk, Reed Strayer, Braden Tussing, Grant Wickline and Bre Wisener.
Each of these young people maintained a 3.8 GPA or higher while at ILMS, maintained a 98 percent attendance rate, were enrolled at least 70 percent of semesters during their fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade years and were not a discipline problem at ILMS.
A reception followed the induction ceremony in the cafeteria.
