The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military. It is administered annually to more than one million military applicants, high school, and post-secondary students.

The ASVAB test will be given on October 2nd at North Central High School. Students who would like to participate in this test should sign up with Major Young in room 411.

Lunch & Learn occurs every day during regular lunch times. Students are required to attend every day until their grades are 65% or higher. This gives our students the opportunity to complete assignments and experience more success in high school.

NCHS along with the other county high schools will be hosting a district college fair on the evening of Thursday, October 3rd. Juniors and Seniors as well as their parents are invited to attend. The event will be held at the Kershaw Campus of Central Carolina Technical College. Be sure to use the Strive Scan QRCode to register for the event.

Cadets in the JROTC program embraced the challenge to recite the JROTC Cadet creed from memorization and committed to embrace the essence of the creed. The Cadet creed is a set of guiding principles that reflect the values and responsibilities of JROTC cadets. Each line of the creed emphasizes duty, responsibility, leadership and commitment to self improvement.

The Raider team hosted Lugoff-Elgin on Wednesday for their first competition of the year. NC Cadets did an amazing job and took first place in the Litter Carry, and One Rope Bridge. They recorded their fastest rope bridge time of 2:13, which consisted of constructing the bridge, crossing it, and deconstructing it. Our sights are now set on the National Competition at Fort Knox, KY Oct 25th.

Hello from the library!

This year, Mrs. Ferrer is hosting a monthly reading challenge to boost the reading culture of our school. Each month there will be a new theme. Students and staff are encouraged to participate. Once you have completed your book for the month, you will be interviewed by Mrs. Ferrer or Mr. Huggins about the book to show that you have read it. You will receive a challenge button and a bookmark as a reward for completing the monthly challenge, and you will be entered into a drawing for a monthly prize.

September's theme is "Series September"; you will need to read the first book in a series to complete the challenge. If you need book recommendations, please stop by the library.

Happy Reading!

BRAVE cards are designed to positively reinforce wanted behaviors in students. A teacher will recognize a student for being respectful, aware, vested and empowered by handing the student a BRAVE card with the teacher's signature on the back. The student will take the card to the front office and place it in the gold hand spinner. Each week, a card will be drawn at random and that student will receive a prize.

Congrats to our August winners!!!
