The National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) is an international honor society for outstanding career and technical students of workforce vocational education institutions. It was established in 1984.
In 1997, NTHS began its first scholarship fund, named in honor of co-founder Jon H. Poteat.[1]
In 2003, the NTHS board of directors unanimously agreed to change the name of the organization to the National Technical Honor Society.[1]
