It was a night of honoring academic achievement at Calhoun High School, with nine students inducted into the National Honor Society and twelve students inducted into Mu Alpha Theta, an international math society that has 1,000 chapters in the US.
Sponsor Amy Fitzwater said "We are proud of the achievements of this group of students," who have maintained at least a 3.5 average, "although most have made straight-A's."
Fitzwater said the qualities for membership in the society are represented by scholarship, leadership, service and character.
