ALPHA BETA KAPPA HONOR SOCIETY
Alpha Beta
Kappa is the only honor Society in the arts, sciences, trades, business,
technical and general studies disciplines. Alpha Beta Kappa places chapters
in nationally accredited institutions which have demonstrated high standards
over a period of several years in the education and training of students
in numerous fields, trades and occupations that are essential to modern
society.
In 2003, PCI
Health Training Center established itself as a local chapter of the Alpha
Beta Kappa National Honor Society. When an individual is elected to membership
in this honor fraternity, it sets him or her apart as an example of personal
integrity and excellence. The major purpose of the Society is to encourage
and recognize superior student academic achievement, character and leadership.
