On Tuesday, April 17, 2018 the Kiamichi Technology Center inducted 29 new members from the Poteau Campus into the National Technical Honor Society.
The goal of the National Technical Honor Society is to see that deserving CareerTech students be recognized and that the people of the community become aware of the talents and abilities of the young people and adults who choose CareerTech education pathways to a successful future.
These students were nominated by their CareerTech instructor based on the qualifications of good attendance, grade point average, and for displaying excellent citizenship, leadership, and attitude qualities. NTHS Advisors are Kellie Sanders and Melanie Thomas.
