NTHS Loves CTE Rockstars!
|
February is not just about Valentine's Day; it's also the month dedicated to celebrating Career and Technical Education (CTE). In the spirit of love and appreciation, let's explore how NTHS Honorary Memberships can spread the love for CTE, recognizing the hard work of stakeholders and enhancing partnerships during CTE Month.

Honorary Memberships are a great way to recognize amazing advisory committee members, business leaders, district leaders, and community partners who contribute to the growth and success of your CTE programs. Celebrate CTE Month with a special ceremony to honor them during your induction ceremony. Remember, there is no limit to the number of NTHS Honorary Members your school may recognize and honor. Embrace this opportunity to strengthen partnerships, raise awareness, and show appreciation for the invaluable contributions of CTE stakeholders. Together, we can ensure the continued growth and success of Career and Technical Education in our schools and communities.
How Are You Celebrating CTE Month?
There are so many ways to celebrate besides Honorary Memberships - get creative! Host career fairs, alumni panels, or industry showcases. Invite guest speakers and share success stories on social media and in newsletters. You can even invite your students to create promotional videos about your amazing CTE and CSTOs at your school, just like Advisor, Audra Allen DeSorbo, from Western Harnett High School in Lillington, NC did!
Don't forget to let us know what you're up to for CTE Month in your Chapter. We might feature your activities on social media or our NTHS Blog!

NTHS Honor Roll: Bill Lewis
|
|
|
|
|
What are you going to do after high school? It’s a common question for which many students don’t have an answer. Career and Technical Education helps students find their passion. Students in Lubbock-Cooper ISD in Lubbock, Texas, are lucky they have a community partner to help them answer that question.
Mr. Bill Lewis, Assistant Operations Partner of the local PF Chang’s restaurant, wants students in his area to know their worth and find where their skills are.
|
|
|
“Join NTHS and tell us how you intend to gain your fortune in your future,” says Mr. Lewis.
This phrase was inspired by a fortune cookie he opened at PF Chang’s some 25 years ago. Mr. Lewis found his fortune with the restaurant chain and wants students from his hometown to do the same.
