Ninety Capital Region BOCES Career
and Technical School students were
inducted into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) on May 28, while an additional 33 students were recognized for meeting eligibility requirements for the second year.

Those honored come from a cross section of Career and Technical Education programs, from Criminal Justice to Welding and Metal Fabrication and Culinary Arts & Hospitality Technology to Early Childhood Education.

To be honored, students had to meet several criteria, including earning grade-point averages (GPA) of 92 or greater at Career & Tech and an overall GPA of 85 or greater at their high schools, as well as having stellar attendance.

Joe Slichko, Principal of the Career and Technical Education Center – Albany Campus, praised the scholars during the induction ceremony.

“You embraced the challenge of going beyond the traditional classroom setting, and you excelled,” he said. “You carry forward tremendous promise, and your future is filled with limitless possibilities.”

The Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education Center National Technical Honor Society chapter membership now represents nearly two dozen school districts and almost two dozen CTE programs.

The full list of 2026 NTHS inductees broken down by Capital Region BOCES campus, their Capital Region BOCES program, home school district and grade are as follows. (** indicates a student is a second-year member).
