Nineteen ECCA and Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH) students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society for the 2024 year. Thirteen additional students received second-year-honor recognition for meeting the requirements for a second year in a row.
This year, not only did Early College Career Academy (ECCA) celebrate students being honored by the National Technical Honor Society, they also celebrated becoming their own chapter. Previously students were still recognized but under the Career and Technical Education Programs’ chapter.
The ceremony was held in Scoville Auditorium at the SUNY Adirondack, Queensbury Campus on May 21, 2024.
The National Technical Honor Society is a non-profit student honor organization for outstanding students enrolled in occupational, vocational or technical programs. The purpose of this organization is: to promote the ideals of honesty, service, leadership, career development, and skilled workmanship among the technical students of America; to reward meritorious achievement in technical education; to encourage and assist technical students in their pursuit of educational and career goals; to develop a greater awareness within the American business, industry, and service communities about the talents and abilities of students engaged in technical education; and to provide technical students with a greater awareness of the world of work.
Nominees must be endorsed by their teachers and maintain a 94 average in their CTE course and a 90 average in ELA/Math. Adult students were also inducted.
