Eighty elementary students were inducted into the inaugural honor society at Hardy Williams Academy Mastery Charter School during a ceremony Monday night.

Children in first through fourth grade were honored for exceeding in reading and math proficiency using last year’s test scores. They were awarded with a pin and a certificate and officially inducted into the Hardy Honor Society, which recognizes scholastic achievement, personal responsibility and development leadership skills. The top 20 students in each of the four grade levels were chosen — the top 10 in math and the top 10 in reading.

“We want to continue to give students something to strive for,” said Principal Andrea Upton, of the Mastery campus located at 5400 Warrington Ave. “If [other] students see someone walking around wearing the Hardy honors pin, we want that to be something that everyone is striving for.”
