This week, Manchester Township High School (MTHS) inducted 15 new members into the Manchester Township High School Quill & Scroll Society. Congratulations to these students for achieving this outstanding honor and to their teacher Jill Ocone for her continued leadership and guidance of the MTHS communication and journalism students!
Quill and Scroll's mission is to encourage, support, and recognize individual student initiative and achievement in scholastic journalism, regardless of the medium. The Society's vision is to recognize every student, through induction, who meets the criteria established by the society.
In the MTHS 2024 Induction, current Quill & Scroll members shared the importance and rigorous criteria involved with being considered for the international society. The four criteria described included being a junior or a senior in high school, being ranked in the upper third of their high school class, providing superior work in their high school journalism program, and being recognized and recommended by membership by their high school journalism advisor.
During the induction ceremony, students took an oath of honor and received their badge in front of distinguished and invited guests including friends, family, and MTHS staff.
Quill and Scroll International Honor Society for High School Journalists was organized on April 10, 1926, at the University of Iowa by renowned pollster George H. Gallop and a group of high school advisors for the purpose of encouraging and recognizing individual student achievement in journalism and scholastic publication. Since its founding, school charters have been granted to more than 11, 300 high schools in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and 29 foreign countries.
