New Bedford Resident and Bishop Stang Student Honored as National Honor Society Competitor

Bishop Stang High School has announced that senior Sarah Friedman has been nominated to compete in the National Honor Society Scholarship program.

“I am so proud of Sarah. I have learned quite a bit about Sarah during the two consecutive years in which she was a student in my History class. I can say with confidence she is a role model, exemplifying the four pillars of the National Honor Society,” said Donna McDougal, Bishop Stang National Honor Society Advisor and History Teacher. “I am impressed with her commitment to her studies, she takes on a tremendous academic work load, taking several Advanced Placement courses and still manages to live out the mission of Bishop Stang High School by helping others with her extensive volunteering projects.”

For the past 70 years, the National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed local nominees in the running for one of 250 national scholarships of $1,000. Nominated members of the Sr. Teresa Trayers, SND chapter are now eligible for the Massachusetts State competition.

Sarah Friedman was notified and recognized by Bishop Stang President/Principal Peter Shaughnessy and National Honor Society Primary Advisor Donna McDougal.
