Whitewater High School National Honor Society Announces New Members
Whitewater High School established the Minneiska Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) in 1956 to inspire enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote worthy leadership, and encourage the development of character in high school students.
NHS has become a prestigious organization ranking high among college admission officers, scholarship committees, high school faculty & administrators, students, parents and residents of our community. This honor, recognized throughout the nation, is both the public recognition of outstanding accomplishments and the private commitment to continued excellence on the part of each new member.
Twenty juniors and seniors will become members of the National Honor Society at Whitewater High School this year during an Induction Ceremony on Wednesday, November 29. The program will take place in the auditorium and begin at 7 pm. Students selected for membership have demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership, character, scholarship & service to their school and community and have worked extremely hard to achieve at the highest level in school.
Congratulations to the new members of the Whitewater High School National Honor Society!

Students attend Model United Nations conference
On Saturday, November 18, WHS students participated in the Madison Model United Nations conference at Middleton High School. The Madison Area Model United Nations (MADMUN) Conference is a high school Model UN conference organized and run by students from multiple high schools throughout Wisconsin. The conference is geared towards students of all ability levels (beginner through advanced) and is a great way to kick off the Model UN conference season. Students learn the structure of parliamentary procedure, how to debate and communicate ideas, and how to problem-solve international issues.
Students wrote position papers and participated in various issues at MADMUN, ranging from AI in the workplace to Ukrainian Refugees in Italy. Emilia Houwers served as a Co-Chair of the Human Rights Council at MADMUN along with Sam Witt of Lake Mills High School. This leadership role was the first time a WHS student had ever participated in a MADMUN conference as a Co-Chair.
Those who participated included Maddison LaHaie, Giulia Ristagno, Carly Boudreau, Xavier Zei, and Emilia Houwers.
