Each year the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) surveys parents of children receiving special education services in the State. The purpose of the survey – The Maryland Special Education Parent Involvement Survey – is to hear from parents about how well they think their child’s school is partnering with them and promoting parent involvement in their child’s education.

Reminder Seniors

Filing a FAFSA is the single most important thing you can do to get money for college. It’s the gateway to more than $150 billion in college grants, work-study funds, and federal student funds, as well as certain state-based aid.

Get assistance with the process, attend the next 1st Monday Financial Assistance session - Monday, February 6th. For more information, please see your school counselor.

Scholarships

Scholarships are now available on the NCHS website. Once on the website click Menu and then under Academics you'll see Scholarship Information. If you have any questions please let me know.
