Bulldog Families,

As we get very close to winding down another school year I would like to thank all the staff at NCHS, students and families for all the hard work and support. We are all doing what is best for the students of NCHS with the same goals of graduating seniors that are college and career ready so they can reach their goals. On June 1st we will honor the 2023 senior class. This week there are many events going on at NCHS and I look forward to seeing everyone out at these events.

Please feel free to reach out to teachers, guidance counselors and administration anytime we can assist you or answer a question.

Matt Spiker
