Society recognizes achievements of students attending two-year colleges
MOOREFIELD, W.Va. – A recent ceremony at Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College saw the membership of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society grow as seven high-achieving students were inducted into the society on April 21.

The chapter at Eastern was chartered in 2005, and 190 students at Eastern have earned PTK membership. Chapter advisor is Debi Layton of Hardy County, and co-advisors are Alicia VanMeter and Micaela Kidwell, both of Grant County.
