Posted on Apr 18, 2024 at 16:54 PM
The National Technical Honor Society at Ogeechee Technical College (OTC) recently hosted its annual induction ceremony in the Joseph E. Kennedy auditorium at the College. 42 new members who achieved and maintained at least a 3.25 grade point average, and who received recommendations from their instructors, were inducted into the organization and received their official NTHS portfolios.
Club advisor, Lisa Lanier introduced the new officers and began the candle ceremony to symbolize the seven attributes of the NTHS: skill, responsibility, honesty, scholarship, leadership, service, and citizenship.
“Our NTHS chapter continues to grow each year,” said Lisa Lanier, Director for Library Services and NTHS Club Advisor. “I am always impressed with our students and what they are able to accomplish through NTHS at Ogeechee Tech.”
The National Technical Honor Society is dedicated to recognizing excellence in career and technical education. Its mission is to honor student achievement and leadership, promote educational excellence, award scholarships, and enhance career opportunities. Students inducted into NTHS must have completed 20 semester hours or more and have maintained a 3.25 cumulative GPA or higher in addition to other criteria.
To date, NTHS has awarded nearly 3 million dollars in scholarships through its own Jon H. Poteat scholarship, through partnered career tech student organizations, and through an incredibly generous alumni association.
