Together, we have navigated challenges and celebrated successes and I am proud of our students for their efforts and achievement. We are already looking ahead to the next school year and preparations are underway to ensure a smooth start. Course selection for next year… Read More
I’m definitely loving this warmer weather and the spring energy in the school. It’s hard to believe there are only six weeks of classes left.

As we welcome the arrival of March, I am reminded that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend, meaning we “spring ahead” and set our clocks forward by one hour. Losing that hour of sleep always throws me for a loop, but the extra daylight in the evening is definitely a treat. The month of February brought with it the first “Winter Activity Day” at NHS and it was a hit! The weather was a bit of a complicating factor in… Read More
