The Northeast Texas Community College Honors Program is pleased to announce its Honors Students for the 2021-2022 school year. This includes eight Presidential Scholars and 13 Honors Scholars.

College trustees, administrators and faculty established Honors Northeast in the spring of 2007. Geared to attract top high school graduates and college students, the program has flourished thanks to a network of loyal supporters in and out of the college. Each year, NTCC honors students have attended and presented research at the Walter Webb Society of Texas (WWS), the Great Plains Honors Council (GPHC) and the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC).

A tradition initiated in 2008, continued for students of Honors Northeast as they visited a major city, in this case, Fort Worth on Friday, 19 September.  With COVID still a variable, students sat spaced in two large vans, and attended mainly outdoor venues. But because of recent gifts from Drs. Jim and Paula Archer and Don and Margaret Muse, and the willingness of Naomi Deciga, NTCC’s Academic Transfer Coach, to drive, the group enjoyed all the traditional delights of an NTCC honors day-trip experience.
