On Thursday our Musical Theater students held their FIRST annual showcase and rocked the house! These performances featured music from musicals such as “Hamilton”, “Newsies” and “Hairspray”. It was amazing to see our students shine on stage! What a way to end the school year…. Bravo!

Congratulations to our EOG WINNERS! These students worked extremely hard this year and on our end-of-grade tests. This group had their names drawn for some amazing prizes including iPads, JBL Speakers, Sports Equipment, Bikes, Haircut Gift Certificates, and Snacks. We are so proud of your hard work this year! Go Tigers!

As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to remind all students and parents that we will be collecting student laptops, cases, and chargers. This process is essential to facilitate summer repairs, upgrades, and/or software installations to ensure all students have access to fully functional devices when classes resume in the fall. Students will be expected to turn in their laptop, case, and charger before or on their last day of school. A due bill will be sent to students who do not turn in all three items by June 5.

The cost of the three items is:

Laptop: $673.89

Charger: $25.00

Case: $39.00

If your device was stolen, please turn in a police report indicating it was stolen.

Please be advised students who need a device for NHCS-approved summer programs will still be required to check-in their device. The device will be checked back out to that student for remote or off-site summer coursework. Registration will be verified prior to checkout. Summer school students will receive a device on the first day of summer school.

Exciting News for Williston Middle Rising Seventh Graders!

NHCS is partnering with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce to bring the Career and Leadership Development Academy (CLDA) to seventh grade students across the district next year!

Thanks to special funding from the State Legislature for workforce development, this program is completely FREE for students and includes meals, transportation, and all materials.

Through this program, your seventh grader will:

• Explore local career clusters through industry exploration field trips to various sites throughout the school year

• Identify their top career clusters and learn what education and experience they’ll need to enter their chosen field

• Build leadership skills

• Share their career research with their peers and attend a CLDA graduation ceremony

This program has already proven to be a personal and academic game-changer for our students who have participated the last two years, and we're excited that Williston seventh graders will get to participate next year.

Stay tuned for more information from us at the start of the 2024-25 school year, and don't hesitate to reach out to Jo McDonnell with any questions.
