Ockerman, Zhang inducted into NHS
Two Nicholasville residents were among 34 Sayre Upper School students inducted into Sayre’s chapter of the National Honor Society on Nov. 17.
Eleventh-grader Wyatt Ockerman of Nicholasville, son of Mr. and Mrs. Denver L. Ockerman; and 12th-grader Kimmy Zhang of Chengdu, China, who resides with Drs. Conrad and Kathryn Brimhall, were among inductees.
The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high-school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments but also challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
Sayre School is central Kentucky’s only independent, college preparatory school from preschool through grade 12.
