A total of 157 students from 27 Western New York high schools have been inducted into Erie 1 BOCES’ chapter of the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS).
This year’s cohort includes three seniors from Lackawanna High School. Those seniors include – with their Erie 1 BOCES Career and Technical Education program – Brian Eiskant, Auto Technician Training; Asala Nashir, Cosmetology; and Ahmed Zaied, Dental Laboratory Technology.
In order to qualify for acceptance into NTHS, a student must be nominated by his or her teacher, have a 90 percent or higher average in their career and technical education (CTE) course, and maintain an overall grade point average (GPA) of 85. Furthermore, students must demonstrate skill development and leadership and hone their responsibility and good character.
