Grant Career Center's National Technical Honor Society Induction Ceremony was held on March 9, 2023. The ceremony was held in Grant Career Center’s cafeteria, which was filled with family members and friends of inductees. The first speaker was Mike Parry, Superintendent of Grant Career Center. Mr. Parry began his speech by thanking everyone for attending and went on to thank the parents and students for choosing and trusting Grant Career Center with educating their students.
Grant Career Center inducted 34 students into The Elizabeth Abbott Chapter of the National Technical Honor Society. This year’s inductees include students from 12 different programs: Allied Health, Automotive Collision, Cosmetology, Construction Technology, Culinary Arts, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Information Technology, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Metal Fabrication, Large Animal Science, and Veterinary Science. The inductees were selected by a committee of faculty members based on academic requirements, attendance, leadership, and character. The ceremony also included a presentation of what the students have accomplished, with quotes from their instructors at Grant Career Center.
"To me, Austin Sipple is the personification of brilliance. In the
lab, in the classroom, and as a person he continually exceeds
expectations and sets the example. I am eternally blessed to
have been able to be his teacher.”
Mr. Brian Carter, Math
“Through all of the years working with Trent Grigsby, he never
stops impressing me. His ability to navigate through
adversity and search for constant growth puts him in a
league of his own. I could not be more proud of who he is
as an athlete, student, and most importantly a person.”
-Mr. Brian Carter, Math

She is doing awesome at HealthSource and has
received a ton of exceptional feedback from her
employer.”

Disruption. In addition, Kaleb is a loyal and good friend

every pet in her care is absolutely
