ASHLAND — The Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center inducted 22 new members into the National Technical Honor Society during its awards program on May 15.
Ten juniors and 12 seniors made up the largest number honored in recent years.
The goal of the NTHS is to see that deserving career technical students be recognized and people of the community become aware of the talents and the abilities of the young people and adults who choose vocational education as their path to success. The organization also promotes seven attributes including leadership, service, honesty, knowledge, skills, scholarship, responsibility and citizenship.
Nearly all of the students inducted into the Honor Society were recognized for being involved in some type of leadership role at the Career Center, including Interact, the Drug Free Club and Skills USA. School counselor Jamie Garverick pointed out special achievements of several students including Kailyn Ritenour from Mapleton High School who received a $9,000 tuition freedom scholarship; Casey Freeman from Triway High School who received a $1,500 Strive scholarship; and Isaac Miller of West Holmes High School who scored 97 percent on his Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery tests.
