About

CTE stands for Career and Technical Education Program, which is designed to provide students with hands-on learning experiences and the skills they need to excel in various career fields. To become a member of the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), students must be actively enrolled in a CTE program. At Ferguson, we proudly offer a range of CTE opportunities, including specialized Magnet Programs and individual CTE classes, to help students prepare for their future careers and achieve their goals.

Career Development

• Exploring career paths and gaining rich experiences to prepare students to enter the workforce are critical components for success. Engagement in an NTHS chapter should help students develop the knowledge and resources they need to take the next steps in their career path, whatever those steps may be.

Leadership

• NTHS members have already proven themselves to exemplify excellence in CTE. Through leadership development activities within a chapter, students will gain authentic leadership experience to help them grow both personally and professionally.

Service

• Service is an integral aspect of an NTHS chapter. NTHS chapters are by-products of the communities in which they are located. The skills and abilities that students are learning in their CTE programs provide opportunities for your chapter and its members to serve and build within the community.

Recognition

• NTHS strives to recognize the accomplishments of all our members. Through the NTHS induction process and ceremony, scholarships, graduation events and other activities that your chapter may create, you can help elevate skilled career paths in your community and school, along with the students that have chosen those paths.
