Annual Events
The Reading-Muhlenberg NTHS held its first Relay for Life in April 2007.  Participants spent 24 hours walking in support of finding a cure for cancer. During the 24 hours we enjoyed food, games, and entertainment.  NTHS students held monthly fundraisers for the relay and promoted a healthier lifestyle in our school. We've held a Relay for Life event each year since 2007 and have raised over $40,000 to help fight cancer.

We celebrate Dr. Suess' birthday by spending the day reading to elementary school students.  NTHS members read their favorite Dr. Suess book to students.  Some even dressed as a character in their book.  When elementary students see a teenager enjoy reading, they might just give it a try.

Other Ideas
The goal of the RMCTC National Technical Honor Society is to promote the talents of career and technical education students. We hope to bring positive publicity to our school and to prove to our community that our students are not only being trained in their field of study, but are being taught to become valuable members of society.
