Student organizations in career and technical education that
promote occupational excellence, leadership, and citizenship,
are encouraged and supported by the TBA Intermediate School District.
State policy specifies that a career and technical education student
organization is an integral part of a high quality education program,
that "schools receiving added cost funds for career and
technical
education programs should have an active student organization
program." Research tells us that the number two reason/predictor
of a student's success now and in the future is their involvement
in extra-curricular or co-curricular clubs, organizations, teams,
or activities.

Joining
one of CTC's skill and leadership clubs will give students many
leadership opportunities, and allow students to enter into local,
regional and state skill competitions related to their technical
program. Career-Tech Center is proud of our Center's high state-wide
rating in occupational club competitions! Approximately 350 CTC
students join a skill and leadership club.
Students
who choose to join a student club or organization sponsored by
the Career-Tech Center are expected to follow student conduct
rules described in the CTC Student Handbook and any additional
requirements deemed appropriate by club sponsors.
Student Council has officers and members in AM and PM sections.
Council members meet monthly to represent all technical program
students at CTC. Students on the council plan career and technical
education week activities, participate in community service projects,
and are involved in many other interesting initiatives.
The
National Technical Honor Society is also available
for students. In order to be nominated students must:
- Complete
one semester at Career-Tech Center.
- Have five
or fewer days of absence per semester for approved reasons (with
no make-ups).
- Achieve
a grade of B+ or better in their CTC program.
- Be in good
standing at their home school.
- Follow
instructions, work well with others, take pride in their work,
exhibit a good attitude and leadership qualities, as well as
being safety conscious, dependable, trustworthy, responsible,
and honest.
Along with
group community service projects, the Honor Society is responsible
for planning the CTC Open House. Strong leadership qualities are developed when
members plan and carry out the Induction Ceremony held every March
at Dennos Museum in the Milliken Auditorium on the campus of Northwestern
Michigan College.
