The MOBOCES chapter of the National Technical Honor Society has been recognized by the national organization as a 2024 Foundational Chapter.

The designation is part of the new three-tier Chapter Awards Program launched this spring by NTHS. The Foundational Chapter Award is the first level, recognizing chapters for excellence in student engagement and overall promotion of Career and Technical Education in their schools and communities.

MOBOCES is one of 16 NTHS chapters that earned a Foundational Chapter Award in this inaugural year, and it is the only chapter from New York to earn any of the three levels of recognition!

Since 2021, the chapter has made concerted efforts to raise awareness among CTE students of NTHS membership, steadily increasing the size of its induction classes each year. Both the 2023 and 2024 classes set records for the number of students and number of CTE programs represented.

The 2024 class, with 146 inductees from 11 high schools, included at least one student from each of our 23 CTE programs for the first time.
