The Eastland Career Center chapter of the National Technical Honor Society inducted 24 students into its ranks on Friday, October 28, 2022. A ceremony for staff and families was held during school hours to commemorate this accomplishment.
Eleven of the 16 area high schools that comprise the Eastland-Fairfield district were represented in this year’s class. Ten different programs had at least one student represent their lab, as well.
To be considered for induction into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) at Eastland Career Center, a student must earn a 3.7 or higher grade point average and have a 97 percent attendance rate, or better, in his or her junior year with no major discipline infractions. The candidates’ teachers also evaluate students to ensure that they demonstrate the seven attributes of an NTHS member: skill, scholarship, honesty, responsibility, service, leadership, and citizenship. Once students meet these qualifications they are asked to complete an application, which includes multiple essays, which is then reviewed by staff and the NTHS advisors.
