Dear NCHS Family,
The halls will soon be buzzing with the unmistakable energy of a new school year. Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at NCHS, a place where every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make unforgettable memories.
To our returning Rams:
Welcome back to your second home! We’ve missed your laughter, your curiosity, and yes, even those early morning yawns. Reconnect with old friends, meet new faces, and share your summer stories. You are the heartbeat of our school, and your presence is what makes NCHS feel like a family. Keep that Ram spirit strong!
To our newcomers:
Nervous? Excited? That’s the beginning of something great at NCHS. You’re not just starting at a new school, you’re joining a family that’s ready to cheer you on. At NCHS, we have a strong support system in place to guide you through your journey. Whether you’re into science, the arts, sports, leadership, or still figuring it out, you belong here. Take a deep breath, be yourself, and get ready for something truly amazing.
Your Next Chapter
This first month is your chance to explore it all: challenging classes, exciting sports tryouts, inspiring arts programs, and meaningful service opportunities. Dive into our clubs and activities; you never know what hidden talents or lifelong friendships you’ll uncover.
Every smile, every word of encouragement in the hallway, and every time someone shows up for someone else are the moments that make NCHS such a special place. No one’s doing this alone. We’ve got each other, and we’ve got your back.
Let’s make this a year to remember. We're excited to see what this year holds for us all.
