Bulldog BARK
Weekly update
Week of December 20th- December 25th
"At NCHS every student graduates college and career ready with 21st century skills."
Message from the Principal's Desk
Bulldog students and families,
Only 2.5 days this week then a much deserved break for everyone. I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. As 2021 winds down I like to reflect and look forward to 2022. This has been a difficult year with many challenges that we have never had to face in past years. I would like to thank the staff, students and families for all their hard work and understanding as we navigated the hills and valleys. Between COVID, quarantining, and Tic Tok challenges we have been able to face each situation as a team. I would like everyone to know that I am truly only a phone call away if you have a question or a concern. NCHS is a great school and too often rather than reaching out we turn to social media to complain rather than meet to work on a problem and come up with solutions. My hope for 2022 is that we can work together to do what is best for the students to prepare them for their futures.
