Help Your NTHS Members Stay Connected – Use Personal Emails!
|
|
|
When registering students for NTHS, an email address is required—but school-issued emails often create challenges. Many districts block external messages, preventing students from receiving important scholarship notifications. Even more concerning, school emails are frequently deactivated after graduation, making it difficult for members to access their NTHS portal without assistance.
To ensure a smooth transition from active to alumni membership, we encourage you to register students with a personal email address whenever possible. If members have already joined with a school email, remind them to log in and update their email to a personal one before graduation. Taking this simple step helps them stay connected to their benefits, scholarships, and alumni opportunities long after they leave high school!

March Honor Roll: Adam Pearish
|
|
|
|
|
Adam Pearish may be fairly new to Career and Technical Education (CTE), but he has jumped in with both feet to improve outcomes for the 12 school districts served by Area 31 Career Center in Indianapolis, where he works as a counselor.
“Career and Technical Education is important to me because it provides students with the tools they need to be successful in life,” says Adam. “Whether they enroll in a post-secondary institution, secure employment in the workforce, or enlist in the Armed Forces, the skills they learn in their CTE program translate far beyond the classroom.”
|
|
|
Since becoming the NTHS advisor at Area 31 last year, Adam has doubled the size of their chapter. By sharing the benefits of NTHS, he saw an enthusiastic response from students eager to be part of the organization. He notes that students enjoy being recognized for their hard work and value the sense of belonging NTHS brings to campus.
