Congratulations to Colby Rau, a Catasauqua High School student in the pre-engineering and engineering technology program at Lehigh Career & Technical Institute on his induction into the school’s National Technical Honor Society. Colby, along with seven other LCTI students, were inducted during a ceremony Dec. 9 at the school’s Schnecksville campus.

Inductees’ family members, along with LCTI staff, joint operating committee members and Lehigh County school district staff were all in attendance for this special event.
