Group 3:16 is a Bible-based club where students connect regularly in small groups with other believers on campus. The vision for this group started in 2019 when two high school seniors prayed that God would move on the hearts of their classmates and renew the spiritual fervor on campus. We were amazed, but not surprised, when this group of 2 quickly grew. By the end of that year, we had over 60 individual students stop in for at least one Group 3:16 meeting! Since then, other passionate students desire to see that vision grow and we have expanded the club meetings to accommodate students in grades 6-12. This informal Bible study group meets twice a month during lunch. The goals of Group 3:16 include fellowship, studying God’s word and praying for one another and for our school! Each month students will be reading plans on the YouVersion Bible app together and encouraging one another in faith and godliness.

The National Technical Honor Society was established in 1984 with the goal to see that deserving STEM students be recognized and that people of the community become aware of the talents and abilities of the young people who choose STEM education pathways to a successful future.

The official emblem of the organization is made up of a shield crossed by a scroll bearing the letter "NTHS". Above the shield is the head of an American Bald Eagle with a wreath of seven stars circling the eagle’s head. 

The shield represents the individual member.  The line running through the shield represents a straight "plumb line", fundamental to building a life and career upon a good foundation.  The Bald Eagle's head represents the United States of America and the individual’s freedom of career choice.  The wreath of seven stars represents the seven attributes of the NTHS member which are skill, scholarship, honesty, responsibility, service, leadership, and citizenship.
