Chryl and Joe Moss of Vinita have six children between them. Five of those children attended NTC's Afton Campus (North). It was this reporter's privilege to meet Ms. Moss recently at the National Technical Honor Society initiation ceremony at NTC where her daughter Shandi Moss was inducted as a member of the prestigious organization.

Shandi Moss the youngest of the five family members is currently a second year student in the Health Career Certifications Program working towards her CNA Certification. Shandi is a senior at Vinita High School and plans on attending college this fall. "My husband and I gave advice to our children, and we said if they were not going to attend college they need to learn a trade or skill.”  Chryl Moss said. Travis Laticker the eldest son attended the Welding Technology Program and currently owns his own construction business. Travis's construction company TNT Backhoe & Construction is located in Vinita. His wife Letrese works in the superintendent's office for Vinita High School.
