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).

Is your student considering enrolling in World Civilizations, Introduction to American Studies, Engineering Math or any of our College Credit Plus courses during the 2020-2021 school year? If so, please complete this mandatory step to continue the registration process. Please read and sign the Letter of Intent. The letter is due prior to the enrollment in any college course.

Interested in joining the New Albany High School National Honor Society? Applications for NHS were sent to all current sophomores and juniors on Friday, February 14, 2020 and will be due Friday, March 27, 2020. For those students that are admitted into the society, our induction ceremony will be held on May 5, 2020 at the McCoy Center for the Arts.

This is a friendly reminder to familiarize yourself with the Districts attendance policy and guidelines. Students that are leaving school early for appointments should follow our regular procedures of bringing in a note to the Welcome Center in the morning so that they can be given a pass to leave class prior to being signed out by a parent. This is beneficial for fewer disruptions during instructional time. We appreciate your cooperation.

Prepare for the April 4, 2020 or June 13, 2020 National ACT test by taking the ACT Review course to be offered Saturday, March 21, 2020. On-line regisistration is now open.
