Career Center’s NTHS Will Induct 71 New Members
JACKSON, Mich. – Seventy-one students from 12 area school districts will be inducted into the Jackson Area Career Center’s National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) on Tuesday, March 29.
“I have never had a group that has such dedication to their community,” Rita Phipps, Career Center counselor and NTHS advisor, said about this year’s inductees. “Two of our students have logged in over 500 hours of volunteer hours. Three students were involved in preparing over 500 backpacks for Jackson County children, and our group raised over $950 for eight adopted families at Christmas.”
The NTHS officers for the 2010-2011 school year in the morning shift are co-presidents Danielle Colliau, a Health Sciences student from Michigan Center; and Taryn Goodge, a Visual Communications student from Grass Lake. The afternoon shift co-presidents are Zachery Anderson, enrolled in Army JROTC from Grass Lake; and Ashley Literski, enrolled in Cosmetology from Northwest. All are seniors in high school.
The Career Center’s chapter of NTHS now includes 518 inductees since its start nine years ago. To be eligible, a student must maintain a 3.2 minimum cumulative grade point average at their local high school and a 3.5 grade point average each semester at the Career Center. Being a member also brings a special opportunity to apply for a NTHS scholarship worth $1,000.
