Hi Parents,
Teacher Appreciation Week is the first week of May, and Senior Breakfast is on May 22.
Since high schoolers are not exactly known for showing up with thoughtful teacher gifts in hand, we thought we’d help make sure our teachers still feel appreciated. We also want to celebrate our seniors with a fun breakfast before graduation festivities begin.
We are collecting monetary donations to help provide:
- Manic Monday breakfast
- Cinco de Mayo taco bar
- sweet and salty snacks
- Thirsty Thursday fun beverages
- and, of course, more food
Our fundraising goal is $1,500. Whether you send $30, $50, $100, or any amount at all, every dollar helps us pull this off.
Venmo: @NLHS-PTO
If you do not have Venmo, cash or checks may be sent to the school office. Please make checks payable to NLHS PTO.
Also, remember that each year your family joins PTO, your senior is entered into a drawing for a $1,000 college scholarship. Yearly PTO membership is just $20. If you are joining PTO, please note that in your Venmo payment or check memo line, and send it as a separate transaction from any donation.
Every donation helps us create a fun and thoughtful week for our staff while also making Senior Breakfast special for the Class of 2026.
Thank you for helping us make it happen!

Dear Knight Families,
We value your voice and partnership in helping our school grow. As part of our commitment to Leader in Me, a district-wide initiative, we are asking all families to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will provide important insights into our school's strengths and areas of growth. The information collected will help us better support our students, strengthen leadership opportunities, and continue building a positive school culture.
This survey is quick to complete and your responses will remain anonymous. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by April 29th. https://www.leaderinme.com/s/north-lincoln-high-nc/families.
Thank you for your time and continued partnership in your student's education.
Our Underclassmen Awards Ceremony will be held on May 12th at 6:30 PM. We look forward to celebrating the achievements and hard work of our students!! Additionally, any students planning to take Gaston College classes this summer or next fall are reminded to complete the application process as soon as possible. Please be sure to regularly check your email for important DocuSign forms and complete them promptly to avoid any delays in enrollment.
