The Carbon Career & Technical Institute held its induction and installation ceremony and banquet for the National Technical Honor Society at the school in Jim Thorpe.

National Technical Honor Society is an honor society for outstanding career and technical students of workforce vocational education institutions in the United States.

The society began in 1984 as the National Vocational-Technical Honor Society. Having served more than 1 million members since 1984, the society was created to bring honor and recognition to Career and Technical Education. From celebrating these students to awarding nearly $300,000 in scholarships each year, the society believes in empowering and supporting students in their quest to master a skill and embark on a career.

The mission of the NTHS is to honor student achievement and leadership, promote educational excellence, and enhance career opportunities for NTHS membership.

After the ceremony, members of the National Technical Honor Society, family, friends and school officials enjoyed a banquet prepared by the school’s Culinary Arts Department under the direction of their instructor A.J. Burke. Sue Ann Gerhard is the NTHS adviser.
