St. Mary’s Dominican High School students Mia DiGiovanni ’22 and Shania Raimer ’23 are among the 16 named poets of the year by the National English Honor Society (NEHS) Poetry Contest. The students won NEHS monthly poetry contests with their submissions. They are members of Dominican’s Veritas Chapter of the NEHS. Poets of the Year will have their poems published.
Founded and sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta, NEHS is the only international organization exclusively for high school students and faculty who, in the field of English, merit special note for past and current accomplishments. Members of Dominican’s Veritas Chapter of the NEHS must have a 3.75 average in English and a 3.5 GPA. Dominican’s Veritas Chapter head moderator is Kristin Thomas and co-moderator is Charlene Ford.
NEHS began a “poetry challenge” creative writing project to encourage and promote more writing. All NEHS members, students, and advisors, are encouraged to submit poems from October through April of the current school year. Each month, members of the NEHS Advisory Council and Central Office personnel read and select the best of the entries. The best submissions are published through its social media outlets and collected in an online poetry journal.
