To be eligible for consideration, a student must earn a 3.5 or higher grade point average and have three or fewer unexcused absences dating back to the fourth quarter of the 2020-21 school year, and have no major discipline infractions. The candidates’ teachers also evaluate students to ensure that they demonstrate the seven attributes of an NTHS member: skill, scholarship, honesty, responsibility, service, leadership, and citizenship. Once students meet these qualifications they are asked to complete an application, a letter of recommendation.
Since its founding in 1984, nearly 1 million students have become NTHS alumni. NTHS honors the achievements of top CTE students, provides close to $300,000 in scholarships annually, and strives to help connect education and industry to build a highly-skilled workforce.
