Not to be outdone by his little sister, Connor's academic achievements were recognized this year with his induction into the National Honor Society. With the high standard of academics in Katy along with Connor's intense and difficult course schedule, we were incredibly proud of his hard work to earn this prestigious honor. Of course, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal and balked at the idea to "dress up" for the ceremony, but we compromised on a collared shirt with jeans - no easy feat if you happen to know this dressed-down kid of ours who thinks collared shirts are an evil inflicted on society.
The auditorium for National Honor Society was much less crowded than the one for Kaitlynn's junior high crowd. It is not easy at all to achieve the 87.5 grade point average at the high school level, and all the parents in attendance were so proud of these kiddos. One by one, they walked the stage to shake the hand of the Principal, Dr. Hull. It was great to see many of Connor's friends walk the stage as well. After the short ceremony, the parents forced the kids into many photo opportunities. Connor and his girlfriend, Marie, were happy to be celebrated together, and I never miss the chance for a photo of them. Connor also posed with his Katy baseball teammates and Principal. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate these students and honor their hard work!
