National Technical Honor Society (NTHS)

National Technical Honor Society

All students have the opportunity to be considered for acceptance into the NTHS (National Technical Honor Society). Students meeting the academic and technical standards will be accepted into this organization following an application and review process. Interested students should ask their teacher for an application, or see their RMCTC School Counselor.

What is NTHS?

The National Technical Honor Society is an educational non-profit that exists to honor, recognize, and empower students and teachers in Career & Technical Education. As the honor society for Career & Technical Education, NTHS serves over 100,000 active members annually in both secondary and postsecondary chapters across the country.

Since its founding in 1984, nearly 1 million students have become NTHS alumni. NTHS honors the achievements of top CTE students, provides close to $300,000 in scholarships annually, and strives to help connect education and industry to build a highly skilled workforce.
