Hello Mustang families,
Although February is taking longer than expected (must be that extra day) March is right upon the horizon. March is a very busy month at most schools, and NHS is certainly no exception. While busy, the time will fly by and I want you to know about these imprtant dates and events.

As you may already know, sophomore students will take the English MCAS exam on Tuesday March 22nd to Thursday March 24th. Breakfast will be available for all sophomores starting at 7:00 am on testing days, followed by an energy burst activity to fire up those neurons.
On those days, freshman, juniors and seniors do not need to arrive to the school until 11am. We are working on some really interetsing guest lectures and programs during those times too - we will keep you posted!
