Over one hundred Sanford Regional Technical Center students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) on Wednesday, May 8th, in the Performing Arts Center.
The ceremony celebrated the achievements of these students in their Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, highlighting their dedication to skill development and academic excellence.
The evening commenced with opening remarks from NTHS Advisor Stephanie Emmons, followed by SRTC Director Matt Petermann, who made welcome remarks highlighting the significance of the night.
Deanna Farrell, Student Services Counselor for SRTC, was the guest speaker of the evening.
"I'm so impressed that we have several Eagle Scouts in the room," Farrell said in her speech. "We have SkillsUSA medalists, world travelers, Black Belt recipients, athletes. I'm so impressed by how many of you are giving back to our youth. And some of you are literally life savers."
The induction ceremony itself was a culmination of hard work and dedication, as Emmons, Petermann, and Farrell orchestrated the proceedings. Each student was individually recognized for their outstanding contributions, symbolizing their entry into a community committed to excellence.
