National Technical Honor Society

One of the highest honors a PATHS student can earn is to be inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS).  NTHS strives to bring well-deserved recognition, scholarship opportunities, and career opportunities to students who excel at Career and Technical Education (CTE) schools. Not only do NTHS students embody all the attributes and talent which are in demand in today’s workforce, these students also embrace a clear vision for tomorrow’s workforce and their role in it. NTHS honors the achievements of top CTE students, provides scholarships to encourage the pursuit of higher education, and cultivates excellence in today’s highly competitive, skilled workforce.
