Good Evening Knights

We have started off to a strong start for the school year. If you have not heard NNHS has a lot to celebrate from last school year. The staff and students did a wonderful job holding high expectations for each other. NNHS exceeded growth, which hasn't been accomplished in the past couple of years! NNHS maintained a letter grade of C, was was a higher C average than in past years. We want to maintain those high expectations for all and continue to put students first for the 2023 - 2024 school year!
