Huntington’s math honor society is led by faculty advisor Doris Quintilian and student officers Madeleine Jensen (president), Nicole Palmer (vice president), Dylan Payne (secretary) and Laurie Beth Widerman (treasurer). This year’s event marked the 11th such induction since the local chapter of the society was founded.
