New Albany High School

This spring, New Albany High School is pleased to offer our junior and senior students the opportunity to earn the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy. This program recognizes students who have achieved a high level of proficiency in English and a foreign language. New Albany High School juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to earn the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy by demonstrating proficiency in English and in a foreign language through the guidelines established by the Ohio Department of Education. To earn this seal, students must earn a proficient score on the foreign language assessment approved by the Ohio Department of Education. This computer-based assessment will be offered at New Albany High School on Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Juniors, seniors, and their families should refer to the email sent on February 13 for registration information. Registration must be completed by March 15. Questions can be directed to Lauren Jones, Global Languages Department Chair (jones.31@napls.us).

The SAT will be given to all juniors on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 starting promptly at 8:00 a.m. in the high school. All juniors must attend.

Two groups from our Business & Marketing Principles class are finalists for the Courageous Persuaders commercial contest. "It's Reality, It's Tragedy" and "Texting Can Start a Conversation, But Can End a Life" are two videos submitted from New Albany. They're eligible for several potential scholarship awards, but the fan-favorite is the one with voting from the public. To vote for your favorite video, click on the "i" in the upper-right hand corner.
