Congratulations to NCTHS! On behalf of the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS), I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate New Century Technology High School on being selected as a 2024 CLAS School of Distinction for the program, Women in STEM. This award recognizes school programs that serve as outstanding educational models for other schools in Alabama. NCTHS was one of 32 schools out of 222 schools to earn this prestigious award. The CLAS Banner School program was created in 2001 to recognize schools in Alabama that showcase outstanding programs and service to students.
