The official NTHS slogan is “Excellence in America’s Workforce Begins with Excellence in Workforce Education.” NTHS candidates must have a high moral and ethical character with a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 and a minimum GPA of 3.25 in the technical program. In addition, candidates must demonstrate outstanding leadership skills and plan to make significant contributions to their communities. Candidates must get a letter of recommendation from the program instructor and one other community member. NTHS members should be good, honest, responsible students-citizens who have made a personal commitment to excellence and who agree to uphold the NTHS Standards of Conduct.
