Forty-five outstanding Vantage seniors were inducted as members of the Vantage chapter of the National Technical Honor Society at the Virtual NTHS banquet held on October 6, 2020. In addition to the guests of honor, parents, and Vantage administrators were able to attend the banquet, while home school administration and family of the inductees watched the live event online, to recognize this elite group of students.
NTHS membership is the highest award for excellence in career technical education and is a reliable indicator of performance and leadership in the workplace. Not only do NTHS inductees embody all the attributes and talents in demand today, they also embrace a clear vision for tomorrow’s workforce and their role in it.
Vantage students who achieved a 3.5 grade point average or better, while maintaining a 95% attendance rate, both their junior and senior year, were eligible to apply for membership. In addition to submitting a resume and writing an essay stating why they would like to be a part of the NTHS, the students were also required to obtain three teacher recommendations.
Students are selected for membership in NTHS as a reward for excellence in workforce education; to develop self-esteem, pride and encourage students to reach for superior levels of scholastic achievement; and to promote business and industry’s critical workplace values – skill, honesty, service, responsibility, leadership, citizenship and scholarship.
