From the Principal's Desk
We are in full swing at NCHS, and it is great to see so many students involved in the exciting events taking place both in and out of the classroom. As a reminder, students are required to be present in class during the school day in order to participate in after-school activities and events.
Thank you for your continued dedication and support. Please reach out if there is anything I can do to help.
WE ARE… BULLDOGS! 🐾
Sincerely,
Matthew Spiker
