Career Services inducts 36 into National Technical Honor Society
Students from nine different programs were inducted into the NTHS
The Center for Career Services celebrated the induction of 36 new students into the National Technical Honor Society during a ceremony at the school on May 30, 2025. The inductees represented nine different programs: Animal Science, Architecture, CISCO - Information Technology, Cosmetology, Emergency Medical Services, Fashion Design & Merchandising, Nurse Assistant, Security, Law & Policing and Sound Production.
The event was attended by members of Southern Westchester BOCES administration, teachers and family members.
“You have gone above and beyond in more than just meeting expectations,” CCS Principal Jaclyn De Lao said. “You have exceeded them.”
The National Technical Honor Society is an international honor society that recognizes outstanding students receiving career and technical education. This was the 17th year the Center for Career Services has had students inducted into the NTHS.
During the ceremony, eight different students lit candles that represented the eight key attributes of the NTHS: Knowledge, Skill, Honesty, Service, Responsibility, Scholarship, Citizenship and Leadership. Afterward, the students received certificates of recognition and recited the NTHS pledge.
“We are so proud of you,” De Lao said. “We can’t wait to see where your path leads you.”
