Students Inducted into Penta's National Technical Honor Society

    Penta Career Center students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) during a special ceremony on April 7, 2016 at Penta. This year 15 students were honored for their career-technical achievements.
    The NTHS is similar to the National Honor Society at comprehensive high schools where students are recognized for scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Membership in the NTHS at Penta requires students to maintain excellent attendance, good behavior and a 3.5 overall grade point average. In addition, inductees must meet the seven attributes of NTHS (skills, honesty, service, responsibility, scholarship, citizenship, and leadership). The NTHS has been in existence for students at Penta since 2013. It was established as an additional way to recognize student achievement and leadership.
    “This is a great opportunity for Penta to honor our students,” says Missy Emerine, instructor of Your Exploratory Success 101 and one of the advisors for NTHS. “We are also pleased that students are still eligible to apply for membership in the National Honor Society at their member schools. The NTHS is just another way for students to be recognized at Penta for their career-technical achievements.”
     Students who were selected for induction into the 2016 NTHS at Penta included: Jazmin Bland (North Baltimore), Interactive Media; Dakota Blecke (Eastwood), Sophomore Exploratory; Natalie Campbell (Rossford), Medical Technologies Academy; Kelsey Crawford (Genoa), Sophomore Exploratory; Bethany Dieckhoner (Swanton), Medical Technologies Academy; Evelyn Hamilton (Rossford), Sophomore Exploratory; Alexis Hassall (Lake), Sophomore Exploratory; Carley Kidd (Lake), Sophomore Exploratory; Alyssa Lassiter (Woodmore), Sophomore Exploratory; Solana Lopez (Eastwood), Sophomore Exploratory; Brianna Markowski (Anthony Wayne), Sophomore Exploratory;
Meagan Moore (Genoa), Sophomore Exploratory; Devona Mutchler (Genoa), Sophomore Exploratory;
James Nierman (Springfield), Information Technologies Academy; and Peyton Pope (Lake), Sophomore Exploratory.
    In addition, the following students were elected as NTHS officers for 2016: Solana Lopez, president; Jazmin Bland, vice president; and Kelsey Crawford, secretary.
    Each NTHS inductee received a membership certificate, pin, window decal, a seal for their high school diploma, NTHS spirit wear, and a white tassel to be worn during graduation. Senior inductees also received a cord that they will wear for graduation.
   The NTHS was founded in 1984 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Today, the NTHS serves thousands of schools across the United States.
