Seventy-seven career and technical education (CTE) superstars from Albany High School were inducted on Friday into National Technical Honor Society.
National Technical Honor Society is a nationwide non-profit that honors the achievements of top CTE students, provides up $300,000 in scholarships annually and strives to help connect education and industry to build a highly skilled workforce.
You can see a Facebook photo album from the event. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
Students qualify for membership if they have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher, focus on a CTE pathway or major, have one or more faculty recommendations and participate in work-based learning, job shadowing or internship opportunities.
Here is the the list of the newest members of National Technical Honor Society and their areas of concentration. Congratulations to all of them!
