Every marking period, teachers at Lehigh Career & Technical Institute recognize students for outstanding effort, improvement, achievement and leadership in their career and technical education programs and academic classes. Each student of the quarter enjoys breakfast or lunch, depending on his or her schedule, with school administrators at LCTI’s restaurant. Honorees are presented with certificates and gifts.

Congratulations to LCTI and Catasauqua High School’s Students of the Quarter for the second marking period - ninth-grader Collin Paone, academic center, and Brandon Snyder, SOC supply chain management and logistics technology.
