College Credit Plus & Advanced Placement Information Night
I would like to extend an invitation to our NOHS College Credit Plus and Advanced Placement parent information night on Thursday, January 16th, at 6:30 PM in the Performing Arts Center. This event will coincide with Parent/Teacher Conferences, which will be held from 4:00 to 7:30 PM.
College Credit Plus (CCP) is Ohio's dual credit program that allows students in grades 7-12 to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously.
During the meeting, we will cover:
- Benefits and risks of AP and CCP
- CCP enrollment steps, pathways, and placement testing
- AP curriculum and AP courses at NOHS
Representatives from Tri-C, LCCC, and CSU will also be present to discuss CCP at their respective colleges, and our NOHS Advanced Placement Teachers will provide information on potential course options.

Traffic Pattern for AM Drop-Off
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. As a reminder, to improve the flow of traffic in the high school drive, please utilize the middle lane as the pass-through lane while using the inside and outside lanes for drop-off, similar to an airport drop-off system. After dropping off your student(s) near the main entrance, all cars need to move immediately forward to the PAC stop sign so additional parents in line can drop off.
Cars will merge before the stop sign and then turn RIGHT (Left Turn here creates a point of congestion) at the PAC stop sign. This will guide traffic to exit around the back of the stadium. From there, both Burns and Revere can be used to exit the campus. Additionally, traffic can wrap around the stadium and exit via the Middle School drive onto Butternut. I kindly ask that we avoid cutting through the brick school bus lane, as this will allow us to get more vehicles out of the drop-off area in a timely manner.
For your reference, I've included a visual representation in the attachment to help clarify these instructions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
upcoming events
Military Appreciation Events - The Athletic Department is having two Military Recognition Days to honor and recognize those who have or are currently serving in the military. Prior to the games the district will have a special pregame recognition where we will unveil a new flag display in our main high school gym. Members of the military will also get into the games free of charge when they mention it at the door.
