The NCHS PFA and the NCHS Writing Center have organized a virtual two-part college essay workshop for all students. The second workshop is March 29 from 7:00-8:30 pm.  

The second workshop will help students select an organizational structure that will best develop their ideas. Once students have a draft of their essay, they are encouraged to bring it to the Writing Center for additional feedback.

The workshop will be held via Zoom. The waiting room will be open 10 minutes prior to the start of the event. All students are welcome to join and will be admitted promptly at 7:00 PM.

Post-SAT schedule for all students

There will be a college interviewing workshop on Tuesday, April 5, during the lunch block. To reserve a space, please encourage your student to email Mrs. Carroll (susan.carroll@ncps-k12.org) and let her know what lunch your child has that day.  

Join the school counselors and admissions representatives from Boston College, Rhodes College, Texas Christian University and University of California, Los Angeles. Get an inside look of an admissions committee at work! 

During the session we will review three fictitious applicants to an equally fictitious college and reveal how an applicant is considered during an admissions cycle. This program is geared to juniors and sophomores and it will be recorded.  

EVENT LOCATION: The Zoom link will be available before the event.

The next NACAC College Fair will be held on line on April 3. This is a great opportunity for sophomores and  juniors to interact with college admissions officers and learn more about colleges as they consider their list. Click HERE to register.
