HS TRI-M INDUCTION CEREMONY

30 North Shore Students Inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society

Music can alter ones perspective on their surrounding world allowing their emotions to be affected by the music they listen to or perform.

On October 11, 2023, North Shore students were inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society, an organization that helps reinforce services through music. The services include but are not limited to mentoring, tutoring, and/or supporting fellow students that further allows music to inspire and touch the hearts of its members in North Shore High School and the community.

In order to be eligible for induction, students must be actively involved in their school’s diverse range of musical programs. In addition, students must participate and reach a Level V in the New York State School of Music Association (NYSSMA). These students are recognized not only for their outstanding academic and musical successes, but also their leadership qualities. Music is a universal language that is used to express what words cannot. It has the power to unify individuals. Tri-M enables students all over the world to utilize their passion for music and give back to their community one musical note at a time.

Congratulations go out to the 2023-24 North Shore Tri-M Music Honor Society inductees including Bella Atmadjaja, Ava Attina, Emma Bajdechi, Elliot Bryant, Lucia Cagno, Chivonne Cheung, Mae Curiale, Owen Frank, Violet Ganzekaufer, Josef Blaine Hunter, Cole Johnson, Grace Lei, Jacob Ludmar, Ava Maffei, Charlotte Marchioli, Delilah McAuliffe, Olivia McCarthy, Jaxx Mordhorst, Abigail Neice, Olivia Nolan, Jessica Palen, Wes Petersen, Mia Pinto, Luke Pourakis, Keira Rechsteiner, Oliver Schweiger, Isabella Sun, Nicole Tom, Mahiya Vira, and Paolo Wang.
