National Technical Honor Society

The National Technical Honor Society rewards excellence in workforce education, to develop self-esteem and pride and encourage students to reach for higher levels of achievement, to promote business and industry's critical work place values (honesty, responsibility, initiative, teamwork, productivity, leadership, citizenship), to help schools build and maintain effective partnerships with local business and industry, and to champion a stronger, more positive image for workforce education in America.


Eligibility requirements for National Technical Honor Society for NWKTC are based on the student's grade point average of 3.0 or above, a good academic standing, good attendance, eligibility for graduation in the current school year, and faculty recommendation. Qualifications further include, but are not limited to, the desire to pursue a career in their field of study, the student's dependability and leadership qualities.



The selection process states that students are to be nominated by an instructor. Instructors may nominate up to ten percent of the graduating class meeting the NTHS requirements by completing the Candidate Instructor Nomination Form.



Following the nomination deadline, students will receive a letter notifying them of their selection. The student may either accept or decline the nomination. A nomination committee will interview each nominee the following week. Following the interviews and selection, the students will be notified. An Induction Ceremony and Reception will be scheduled. The process is conducted prior to the May Graduation.
