One hundred and six Career & Technical School students were recently inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), 10 of whom were recognized for being in the society for a second year.
Those honored come from a cross section of our Career & Technical Education programs, from welding, heating and criminal justice to the New Visions Health Careers and New Visions Law and Government.
To be honored, students had to meet several criteria, including earning grade point averages (GPA) of 92 or greater at Career & Tech and an overall GPA of 85 or greater at their high schools, as well as having five or fewer absences.
“I’m in awe of what you have accomplished,” said Jeff Palmer, director of Career & Technical Education. “You have proven that you have the right stuff, that you are the right workers employers are seeking.”
