Students were inducted in a ceremony on Thursday evening at AEC. After COVID restrictions canceled the ceremony for the last two years, it was extra meaningful to have both students and their families on site for the ceremony this year.
FEH BOCES livestreamed the event on the organization’s Facebook page, facebook.com/FEHBOCES. Anyone interested can visit the page to watch the recording.
To be inducted, students had to have an 90% or better average for the last six quarters, exhibit quality attendance, and receive a teacher recommendation.
“We at the Adirondack Educational Center, and I’m sure everyone else here this evening, are very proud of these fine young adults and all they have accomplished in their Career & Technical Education programs,” said AEC Principal Rick Swanston. “It has been difficult to excel during these strange pandemic years, but these resilient students managed to learn and grow throughout.”
The National Technical Honor Society is an educational nonprofit that exists to honor, recognize and empower students and teachers in Career & Technical Education. As the honor society for Career & Technical Education, NTHS serves over 100,000 active members annually in both secondary and postsecondary chapters across the country.
This is the 13th year the Adirondack Educational Center has participated in National Technical Honor Society.
North Franklin Educational Center’s NTHS inductees were honored at a ceremony in April.
