Congratulations to Juniors Madison Englebert (Animal Science), Adam Szczech (Conservation), and Kali Jaroszek (Cosmetology) on their induction into the National Technical Honor Society.
Genesee Valley Boces held the traditional candlelit induction ceremony on April 3, 2025. Middle-High School Interim Principal Mr. Ken Ellison attended the ceremony and joined their families in celebrating the students' recognition.
NTHS is the honor society for CTE students nationwide, recognizing those who go above and beyond in their studies and skill development. Established in 1984, NTHS has recognized over 1.2 million students across the country for their commitment to their career pathways.
Note: Madison Englebert was not in attendance at the induction ceremony and therefore is not in the photo.
York CSD is extremely proud of Madison, Adam and Kali and their demonstration of skills, scholarship, and academic excellence.
Tonight's Elementary PTO meeting is canceled.
New York Times Best Selling Mystery Author April Henry visited the York Middle-High School Library to talk with students.
Ms.Henry has authored 29 mystery books for teens and adults. A four-stripe white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Ms. Henry says fight training has helped her become a better writer of thrillers and suspense novels.
“Knowing a little something about surprise, pain and fighting back (from her Jiu Jitsu training) helps me write about them. After all, mysteries and thrillers often contain an element of violence,” she explained on her website.
Middle-High School Librarian Kaitlin Kolb said Ms. Henry’s books are very popular with the students.
