Important Attendance & Hallway Message
As we return from break we are entering the heart of our second trimester and one of the most important times of the school year. These weeks between winter break and spring break are crucial in determining academic success. To help make these weeks successful we will focus on strategies and interventions to improve attendance, tardies, and hallway behavior. We want to remind everyone of the following:
Being tardy to class can result in detentions and after school activities restrictions.
Skipping classes, leaving class early and misusing passes will result in detentions and after school activities restrictions.
There is NO EATING IN THE FLEX AREAS.

ASVAB Test
Students in 10-12 grade can sign up NOW to take the ASVAB on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at NHS. The test will take place from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. in the Forum. If you are interested in taking the ASVAB, please click here to complete the form. Space will be limited. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Ms. Woodbury or talk to your counselor.
What is the ASVAB? The ASVAB is an aptitude test that helps students identify the skills and interests required for the college majors and careers they may want to pursue.
- This test is an additional method for students to learn about their vocational aptitudes. The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a group of ten tests designed to measure a student's aptitude in five separate career field areas and also provides an indication of academic aptitude.
- The ASVAB is an extensively researched test battery developed by experts in the testing field, counselors, and educators. Students will be given the option of whether to release or not release information to military recruiters.
- The test is administered as a courtesy of the armed forces at no cost or obligation to the student. This test is advantageous for all students and we believe your child may be better able to define his/her career choices based on this test. ASVAB test results can help students find their interests, explore careers, and build a plan.
