Stafford Technical Center inducted 20 students into the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) on May 10th, 2011 during a candlelight ceremony in the Dollhouse Restaurant. The mission of NTHS is to honor outstanding student achievement in career and technical education, promote educational excellence, and help to create strong partnerships with business and industry. These students exemplify the core values of NTHS which are leadership, citizenship, service, honesty, responsibility, skill, and scholarship. Stafford is very proud of these accomplished young people.

McNeil who with his brother John, owns McNeil and Reedy, a Fine Men’s Apparel Shop, has been an outstanding supporter of Stafford Technical Center.
