Winter Edition
College Visits
There are many "Junior Days" during the months of March and April. Click on the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page for a calendar with those college visit opportunities listed. You can click on the event you would like to attend and get a link to register for the event. Students can also look for college visit opportunities or set up an individual college visit by going to the college website.
NHS Students get 2 days per year to go on a college visit that do not count against your attendance days. A parent needs to call the attendance office prior to the event and say the student is going on a college visit.

MAPS Testing
NECC will be moving away from the Accuplacer to the MAPS test. The Maps test is used by many 2 year colleges or community colleges such as Northeast Community College to place students in college classes. It can be taken on any week day at Northeast Community College. The test generally takes about 1 - 2 hours. There is no cost for the test if it is for entrance to NECC. If you are taking it for another college then the cost is $15. To take the MAPS test call the Northeast Community College Testing Center at 402-844-7281 to set up an appointment. Students will need to bring a photo ID and calculator with them to the test. NECC will accept your ACT scores but some students will take the MAPS test for better class placement and scholarships. We recommend you take the MAPS test the FALL of your Senior Year because there are scholarships tied to your scores and registration for college classes is done in the Spring.
SAT
Most colleges and universities around the Midwest do not require the SAT. Students going to out of state colleges should check with the college admission requirements to see if they need to take the SAT. The SAT is usually given at NHS on the October test date and June test date. The SAT is given almost monthly in other locations. Click here for more information on the SAT and the registration site.
