Triston Bowser, Tyler Legacy High School senior, was recently awarded a $1000 scholarship from the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS). He learned of the opportunity for the scholarship during his Practicum of STEM class at the Career & Technology Center (CTC). Triston was one of only 250 outstanding NTHS members nationwide to receive the Jon H. Poteat Scholarship based on their ability to consistently exemplify the 7 attributes of NTHS – Skill, Honesty, Service, Responsibility, Scholarship, Citizenship, and Leadership.
“Triston has been an outstanding student in our Engineering/STEM classes and is very deserving of this honor,” said Mike Baker, Advisor for the Tyler ISD CTC Chapter of NTHS. “We are proud of all of our NTHS students districtwide for their dedication to academics and the community.”
Triston plans to begin his studies at Tyler Junior College with a career goal to enter the engineering field.
