If you have not already completed a transcript release form for January 1 college application deadlines or for summer school applications, the deadline to turn in your transcript release form is this Thursday, December 19 at 3:00pm.

This winter, New Albany High School is pleased to offer our seniors the opportunity to graduate with the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy. This program recognizes graduating high school seniors who have achieved a high level of proficiency in English and a foreign language. New Albany High School 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, seniors 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 Tuesday, January 14th.

Senior students and families should refer to the email sent on December 9th for registration information. Registration must be completed by January 10th. Questions can be directed to Lauren Jones, Global Languages Department Chair (jones.31@napls.us).

Do you have a maroon Graduation cap and gown hanging in the closet and you don't know what to do with it?

Donations can be submitted to Mrs. Bowman at the welcome center or Mrs. Santantonio in the main office. We will are taking donations immediately and will publish a list of available sizes to students as soon as possible.
