The PFA and the NCHS Counseling Department are excited to announce the return of Career Night! This traditionally biennial event was last held in 2019 due to the pandemic. 

Career Night offers all NCHS students the opportunity to hear from successful professionals and entrepreneurs working in a variety of industries and careers. The information students learn at Career Night may inspire brand new academic interests or reinforce existing ones. 

Either way, it's sure to be an invaluable evening that your student won't want to miss, particularly our juniors who won’t get another chance to participate before they graduate!

Details will be posted on our website as they’re confirmed.

Ram Jam is our biggest Post Prom fundraiser! Come out on March 31 at 6:30 PM to support our senior boys and girls. Please spread the word and buy tickets. Ticket price is $20 online and $25 at the door. 

The NCHS Library is looking for volunteers on Fridays. Shifts are 95 minutes every other week. No prior experience necessary! This is a fun, very low-stress opportunity to make a positive impact on our school. Please contact Liz Orelup for more information.

Thanks to a generous grant from the PFA, the Writing Center will host the second of two college essay workshops for junior students this month.
