Are you Ready for CTE Month?
|
|
|
CTE Month (February) is a time to celebrate and recognize the value of CTE programs and the achievements of CTE students. National Technical Honor Society chapters can get involved and show their support by hosting a variety of activities during the month of February. Talk with your NTHS Advisor and find out how you can participate.
|
Possible CTE Month Activities:
-
Share the Honor: Awarding someone with an Honorary NTHS Membership is a great way to thank them and bring awareness to CTE, your chapter, and your programs. Honorary members receive a custom certificate, frame, an honorary membership pin, and a letter of congratulations from our Executive Director!
|
|
|
|
- Conduct a CTE service project: One of the National Technical Honor Society Core Four Objectives is community service, so why not use CTE Month as an opportunity to give back to the community? Consider organizing a service project that utilizes CTE skills, such as building a playground (Construction), cooking for the homeless (Culinary Arts), creating a social media campaign for a non-profit (Digital Media), or volunteering at a local library for preschool activities (Family & Consumer Sciences).
- Celebrate CTE Month with a social media campaign: Use social media to share your own CTE experiences and thank your teachers, advisors, mentors, and supervisors that have contributed to your success in CTE. Use hashtags like #NTHSisCTE #CTEMonth and #CTEinAction.
Don't forget to let us know what you're doing for CTE Month in your Chapter so we can feature you on social media and/or our NTHS Blog!

Order Grad Regalia Now to Beat the Rush!
|
|
|
|
As National Technical Honor Society members, you have worked hard to earn your spot in the organization and deserve to be recognized at graduation for your achievements. One important way to show your pride and accomplishment is by wearing the official NTHS graduation regalia.
If you plan to graduate in the spring, now is the time to order your regalia. Waiting until the last minute can be risky, as there is often a rush on orders as graduation approaches. By ordering now, you can beat the crowd and make sure you get your regalia in time for the special day.

New NTHS Honor Roll Inductee!
|
|
|
To celebrate our first NTHS Honor Roll inductee of 2023, we wanted to do something special, our very first Alumni spotlight!
Tamzid Razzaque, an NTHS alumni from Mount Hebron High School in Maryland, served as his school's NTHS vice president during his senior year, and has continued to utilize the resources and stay in contact with members and the chapter advisor, Mr.Gorleski, even after graduating.
When nominating Tamzid for the Honor Roll, Mr.Gorleski had this to say:
"In every activity I found Tamzid, I saw what reflects a passionate student in STEM wanting to make a difference. His projects, internships, and academic accomplishments are leveled with his volunteering, creativity, and leadership."
|
|
|
|
"My NTHS chapter significantly impacted my fellow chapter members' education and personal development. NTHS allowed them to participate in leadership development programs, attend industry-specific conferences and events, and network with professionals in their chosen fields."
-Tamzid Razzaque
