Six Peekskill High School students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society Thursday, having demonstrated scholarship, character, leadership, service and skill at an exemplary level

The honorees and their fields of study were:

Jada Anthony (Certified Nurse Aide)
Emily Czerwinski (Television Production and Digital Film)
Autumn Jacobs (Culinary Arts)
Karla Mogrovejo (Medical Assistant)
Brittney Pauta (New Visions Health)
Josh Satur (New Visions Health)

The event, held at Putnam/ Northern Westchester BOCES’ Yorktown campus on May 18, was attended by BOCES administration, Tech Center faculty, students, friends and family members. In addition to those students who were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society, more than 80 students received scholarships and awards.

To open the ceremony, Peekskill's Emily Czerwinski sang, "America the Beautiful."

The Honor Society looks for students who “demonstrate a spirit of personal excellence, honesty, leadership, teamwork and responsibility,” said Chelsea Horsfield of Walter Panas High School. The honorees, from high schools throughout the region, all attend technical and career classes at BOCES.

To be nominated for the Honor Society, they had to maintain a 90 or better average in their course of study at Tech and an 80 or better at their home school district. In addition to scholarship, inductees had to exhibit character, skill, leadership and service.

BOCES Superintendent Dr. James Ryan told the students that he and the faculty were proud of them.

“I have seldom seen students who have such tremendous composure, maturity and focus on their areas of interest,” he said. “I really am so taken by the dedication that you have for your areas of interest and I know that you are going to do great things as you go from Putnam | Northern Westchester BOCES.”

In all, 104 students were inducted into the honor society.
