St. Charles Community College is proud to announce its Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter, Alpha Xi Chi, has been named a 2021 REACH Chapter. The recognition is part of PTK’s REACH Rewards program, which celebrates and rewards Phi Theta Kappa chapters excelling in membership development.

Additionally, Abigail James and Kelvin Otieno have received Phi Theta Kappa All-Missouri Team rankings this year!

Students from each of Missouri’s 25 Phi Theta Kappa chapters apply to be on the All-Missouri Academic Team. Less than 50 students are selected each year. Each student will receive a cash scholarship and a medallion from the Missouri Community College Association.

Students will be honored for their achievements virtually this year. The PTK virtual event will be held on April 21. Students, family and faculty can for the event here.

Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of two-year colleges. Members of the All-Missouri Academic Team are selected based on the extent to which they meet the definition of the word “scholar,” which Phi Theta Kappa defines as “one who excels in the classroom, has the intellectual curiosity to pursue an academic career and cultural enrichment outside the traditional classroom, shows evidence of substantial development of talents in academics and technical education and has demonstrated an ability to share this development with others.”
