NHS ExpectationsOur goal is to graduation students who are College, Career, and Life Ready!

Attendance is vital to becoming College, Career, and Life Ready! 9th grade attendance is the best indicator for dropping out of high school, not successfully completing the second year of college, or bing gainfully employed upon graduation.

All students are encouraged to take at least one dual enrollment or AP class while enrolled at NHS before they graduate. The goal is 3 dual enrollment or AP courses.

All students are encouraged to complete at least 25 hours of volunteer work through NHS prior to graduation.

All students will graduate with a pathway completed (Advanced Academic, CTAE, World Languages, Fine Arts).
