Twenty-eight Nassau BOCES GC Tech students, representing school districts from across Nassau County, were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) this spring. These outstanding scholars earned exclusive membership in the distinguished academic institution through superior scholastic achievement, dedicated community service and the enthusiastic endorsement of their teachers.

Membership in the NTHS is the nation’s highest honor for excellence in career and technical education. These students have consistently distinguished themselves by exemplifying exceptional qualities, such as honesty, leadership, responsibility and good character. They are the embodiment of the NTHS vision, “success favors the prepared mind.” 

The NTHS is recognized by business, industry and education as the standard for student achievement and leadership in career and technical education. Membership in the NTHS helps students find success in today’s highly competitive workplace by encouraging scholastic achievement and cultivating a desire for excellence. Members are awarded personalized letters of recommendation for employment, college admission and scholarships, and have their diplomas and training certificates stamped with the official NTHS seal.
