College Essay Writing Workshop

The NCHS PFA and the NCHS Writing Center have organized a virtual two-part college essay workshop for all students. The workshop will run in the evenings on March 22 and March 29 from 7:00-8:30 PM.  

The first workshop will help students generate ideas for their college essays, and the second will help students select an organizational structure that will best develop their ideas.

WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT

Pipe Major Jonathan Henken was a big hit at lunch on St. Patrick's Day! He got some fist pumps, was asked for an autograph with pictures and a handful of students also stopped to ask him questions. We are grateful to be able to enjoy this special music at NCHS.
