ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
Every senior should complete the scholarship survey for ALL scholarships & monetary awards they were chosen for (even if they did not accept them).
STUDENT LED CONFERENCE
Completing your High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement – must be done in order to earn your diploma. Sign ups for Student Led Conferences next week (March 26 and 27) are very low and the Student Led Conference is when you present your High School and Beyond Plan.
High School and Beyond Plan components:
- 20 hours of community service
- Student Led Conference to present your Digital Slideshow
Please visit the NTHS website and have a parent/guardian sign up for a conference time or come by the counseling center to sign up. You can also schedule your conference through Advisory on Friday, March 22nd.
You have had time through advisory to work on all components of your Digital Slideshow, so students that have not consistently attended advisory will need to complete the work on your own time and be prepared to present. Please see your advisor with questions.
