The NCHS Summer Reading Challenge is active, so get exploring... and reading.

In case we missed you yesterday during Celebration of Learning, here is a link to the folder of information available to families and community members related to ongoing and upcoming projects at NHCS. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E8b5ToCxlwGSjacSyDejQJu2AonEF-rx?usp=sharing
Thank you to everyone who attended our Celebration of Learning. We wanted to make sure everyone knew about the summer reading challenge. Attached to this post are the directions and then a map of locations where you will find all six challenges. Complete all six mini-projects and bring them with you the first day of school for recognition and reward! Who can do them all? The first one is affixed to the window at the front entrance of the school.


The 2024-2025 Pilots are in and for sale! If paying cash or check, it's $20. If using Venmo, it'll be $22 (to cover the transaction fees!).

As a student at NHCS, you are seen, heard, and celebrated by all. Thank you, Laura!

Step-up day for all of our "rising" students. Check our new Kindergartners! They got to ride the BIG BUS this morning.


Rainbow Games officially kicked off last week!
