Four Great Neck UFSD students attending Nassau BOCES Barry Tech were recently inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS). They were elected for the prestigious honor based on superior academic achievement, dedicated community service and the enthusiastic endorsement of their teachers.
The inductees are Network Cabling Technician/HTI student Arman Farshadmand, Digital Design student Citlalli Flores, Culinary Arts student Olivia Lam, and Computer Game Design and Programming Skills student Sharon Pereira.
“These students have honed their talents and followed their passions to earn this honorable induction,” said Gene Silverman, executive director of Nassau BOCES Department of Regional Schools and Instructional Programs. “They are the future of our society and economy; they are our hope for a better world.”
Membership in the NTHS is the nation’s highest award for excellence in career and technical education. These students have consistently distinguished themselves by exemplifying exceptional qualities, such as honesty, leadership, responsibility and good character, and by serving as models of the NTHS vision, “success favors the prepared mind.”
Recognized by business, industry and education as the paragon of student achievement and leadership, the NTHS helps top students find success in today’s highly competitive workplace by encouraging scholastic achievement and cultivating a desire for personal excellence. NTHS members are awarded personal letters of recommendation for employment, college admission and scholarships, and have their diplomas and training certificates stamped with the official NTHS seal.
