This achievement has become even more impressive due to a new change for becoming a member of the NTHS: an increase to the original GPA criteria from an 85% minimum average to a 90% minimum average for the first 6 quarters of a 2-year CTE program. Additionally, students would need an attendance average of 95% (or less than 13.5 absences) over the first 6 quarters of a 2-year CTE program and their program instructor’s recommendation.

During the ceremony, CTE Director Shawn McMahon and Deputy Superintendent Lori Tourville shared words of wisdom and admiration to the new inductees. The students' instructors were also present to congratulate them on their accomplishments.
