Haines named to PTK All-State Academic Team

NETC student Donna Jean Haines has been named to the 2023 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) All-State Academic Team for her outstanding academic achievements. Haines, who is working towards her Associate of Science degree was recognized during a special ceremony held on April 18 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.

The PTK All-State Academic Team recognizes the top community college students in each state who excel academically and demonstrate exceptional leadership skills. The honor is highly prestigious and serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the recipients.

Haines, a resident of Bennettsville, SC, has been a standout student at NETC. Her academic record and leadership skills made her an excellent candidate for the PTK All-State Academic Team. She is a member of the NETC chapter of PTK, an international honor society for two-year colleges, and has been actively involved in community service projects with Marlboro County 4H and the Marlboro County Advisory Council.

"I am honored to be named to the PTK All-State Academic Team," said Haines. "This recognition means a lot to me, and it's a testament to the support and encouragement I have received from my family, friends, and professors at NETC."

Haines plans to continue her education and pursue a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science. She hopes to use her education and skills to make a positive impact in her community.

"We are proud of Donna Jean's achievements and her commitment to academic excellence," said Dr. Kyle Wagner, President of Northeastern Technical College. "She is a role model for other students and a testament to the quality of education at NETC."

The entire NETC community congratulates Donna Jean Haines on her outstanding achievement and wishes her continued success in her academic and professional pursuits.
