Registration season is an exciting time at NHS. Students get to engage in conversations with their teachers, counselors, families, and peers about the classes they would like to take next school year. These conversations often prompt students to reflect on their future plans and goals. We hope that you take this time to have thoughtful and productive conversations with students therefore creating schedules that are engaging and balanced.

The NHS counseling department is happy to support students and families on this journey! Always reach out if you need support.

Completing the registration process is the task for the quarter 3 seminar module. Students must complete the registration process in order to earn credit for their Q3 seminar module.

Below you will find resources to help students make thoughtful course selections as well as a timeline for the registration process and events.

Teachers will share information about classes offered in their departments.

Packets contain registration materials for the 2025-26 school year. Parent and teacher signatures required for completed registration packets.
