March 4th was the 13th Annual National Technical Honor Society Day at the Capitol.Around 255 students where on hand to listen to Representative Skye McNeil talk about Vision. After Representative McNeil spoke, it was to the South Plaza Capitol Steps for a group photo before heading to visit the student's hometown legislators. After a box lunch where some legislators and other dignitaries stopping in, members witnessed the legislative process from the galleries of their choosing.
The National Technical Honor Society, or NTHS, is a honor society for outstanding career and technology education students. Oklahoma has 76 Chapters across the state that serve students in technology centers as well as secondary school programs. To be nominated for induction, the national GPA average that most schools use is 3.5-3.75. Many schools also look at credit hours completed, attendance, disciplinary records, and CTSO (Career & Technical Student Organizations) membership.
The next gathering of NTHS members from across the state will be during the fall conference on November 12th at Moore-Norman Technology Center, South Penn Campus.
