Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic (OLS) School recently inducted 19 students from 7th and 8th grades into the prestigious 2024 National Junior Honor Society (NJHS).
With family members in attendance, a special induction ceremony and a reception were held in honor of the students. These students joined the seven current 8th graders who became members last school year.

The criteria included
- Scholarship
