Forty-one Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) during the spring 2026 semester.
Since 1984, NTHS has been the honor society for career and technical education, serving high schools, career centers, community and technical colleges and universities. Recognizing more than 50,000 new members annually, NTHS exists to advocate for and empower all students to pursue the technical and academic skills needed to build their careers and a skilled global workforce.
Students were inducted for membership based on their skill development and academic achievement in their career and technical courses.
“I am extremely proud of these students and the dedication they have put into their studies to achieve this honor,” said Kristie Moore, librarian and NTHS advisor at ATU-Ozark.
