National Technical Honor Society

What is the National Technical Honor Society?

The National Technical Honor Society is an educational non-profit that exists to honor, recognize, and empower students and teachers in Career & Technical Education. NTHS serves over 100,000 active members annually in both secondary and post-secondary chapters nationwide. NTHS honors top CTE students' achievements, provides nearly $300,000 in scholarships annually and strives to help connect education and industry to build a highly skilled workforce.

What do we do at JACC?

Locally, at the Jackson Area Career Center, we focus on the four Core Principles of Career Development, Leadership, Service, and Recognition. The NTHS recognizes and encourages higher scholastic achievement, cultivates a desire for personal excellence, and helps top students find success in today’s highly competitive workplace. We have monthly meetings during the school day and enjoy doing service projects for community groups.

 

What are the qualifications for NTHS?

In order to become a member, you must be recommended by your instructor and meet the following criteria:

  • A grade of at least 83% in your JACC program
  • No disciplinary action on your record
  • Demonstrate excellent employability skills in your Career Center program
  • Have an excellent attendance record of 5 or fewer absences per semester at the Career Center

JACC students who meet ALL of these qualifications will be invited to join the National Technical Honor Society and sworn in at an evening ceremony for families to attend, where we recognize our amazing members.
