BAVTS Senior Honored with NTHS Scholarship

Rebecca Coleman was recently awarded a $1000 scholarship

from the National Technical Honor Society. Rebecca, a

Northampton Area School District student who is enrolled in the

Building Trades program at BAVTS is an active member in NTHS

as well as SkillsUSA and plans to continue her employment with

Buchanan Park Housing Corporation after graduation. Rebecca

was one of 250 outstanding NTHS members to receive the Jon H.

Poteat Scholarship based on their ability to consistently exemplify

the 7 attributes of NTHS – Skill, Honesty, Service, Responsibility,

Scholarship, Citizenship, and Leadership.

Since 1984, NTHS has been the honor society for Career and

Technical Education (CTE), serving high schools, career centers,

community & technical colleges, and universities. Recognizing
