Congratulations are in order for the dozens of students at Margaret Bell Miller Middle School in Waynesburg who were recently inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.

The students inducted had to attain a 3.5 grade-point average, unlike the school’s previous, but similar academic recognition achievement program, “4.0 and GO.”

Up until three years ago, special recognition was given to those eighth-grade students who maintained a 4.0 grade-point average for all three years that they attended the middle school.

Maintaining a perfect grade-point average is quite an achievement and those students should have been rewarded. But now more students are being recognized and the pressure for perfection has been lifted.

Good decision, Margaret Bell Miller.
