The National Honor Society (NHS) at Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School (SCVTHS) recently held an induction ceremony to welcome new members. Fourteen students met the qualifications for inclusion in the society, which recognizes dedication to the four pillars of the NHS - character, service, leadership, and scholarship.
The event is a student-run production. Preparations for the ceremony, including measuring students for their robes, organizing the processional and recessional, ushering guests to their seats, distributing programs, and providing refreshments were handled by current members Jackie Hernandez of Hillsborough, Erik McTernan of Bound Brook, Yvangalis Romero of Manville, and Daniella Jimenez of Bound Brook.

Carpentry students at Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School (SCVTHS) continued their partnership with the Somerset County Handyman Program in an effort to provide assistance to members of the community who are dealing with mobility issues.
The Handyman Program is a group of volunteers who have been providing services that enhance the quality of life for seniors and physically disabled citizens for over 30 years. This winter, they have seen an increase in requests for the construction and installation of ramps at homes throughout Somerset County. However, the weather has not been cooperative, and the Handyman Program’s timeline for completing projects has been impacted by freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and even lumber that has frozen together into solid blocks.

Dominick Elias of Bridgewater, a senior in the Mechatronics, Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing (MEAM) program at Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School (SCVTHS), has been selected as Student of the Month for February 2025. Dominick is the son of Ricardo Elias and Christine Vanderheiden.
In the nominations for this honor, Dominick’s teachers cited not only his outstanding work in the classroom, but also his kindness, humor, respect, and patience. MEAM instructor Dan Dalfonzo wrote that Dominick is his “go-to student for helping kids that need to catch up” while English instructor Lauren Heuer was impressed with how he “balances his work responsibilities with his academic responsibilities, and does so with kindness, respect, and humor.”
