Hello NEHS!

The first marking period is now halfway over, but it is always a good time to jump onto PowerSchool and make sure all work is completed. Meet the Teacher is this upcoming week on Wednesday, October 9 from 4:30 to 6:00pm. This is a great time for parents and students to speak with their teachers to make sure they are on the path for a successful school year.

We look forward to the 2024 Homecoming for all students that will be held in two weeks. The Homecoming Football game is schedule for October 17 at 7pm, and the dance is scheduled for October 18 from 6 to 9pm. Dance tickets are now on sale! We also need your help for Homecoming, please sign up with the Action Club to donate or volunteer for Homecoming.

Lastly, kudos to Ms. Douglas and Mr. Long for taking our students to the HBCU Wilmington College Fair. Our very own Kiera Coursey was accepted to 2 colleges with scholarships!

I am always very lucky to be part of a community that comes together to make the high school experience special for their students.

Hello North East Families!

We are the Action Club, an organization very similar to the PTA/PTO from the elementary and middle schools. Anyone may join our club (free of charge), but we are primarily a group of parents who work together to do all that we can to support and enhance the experiences for the students, staff, and local community of North East High School (NEHS). We are here to promote NEHS’s curricular and extra-curricular support for school-wide activities in an effort to improve school spirit, provide enrichment, and develop positive student, teacher, parent, administrative, and community relationships.

If you are planning on coming to support our student athletes please know that all football and any other event that starts at 5:00 PM or later will be gated and admission will be charged.

NEHS has experienced problems with the implementation of credit and debit cards electronically at sporting events for admission. The poor cell service has made consistent and efficient use problematic. Please continue to be prepared to pay cash just in case this service is not working on any particular game day.

We do not allow backpacks, pets, or outside food (when we offer concessions). Any student under high school age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There is no smoking or vaping anywhere on school property regardless of age.

• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.

• By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.

• Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the school year, can affect a student’s academic success.
