Our first two weeks of school have been busy. We have accomplished critical tasks to ensure that our building is safe and conducive for learning. The first day of school a (Virtual Assembly) established the expectations for our school building. The next weeks have focused on establishing habits to ensure academic success. As students learn the schools expectations the building team has provided interventions to support all students Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). In addition, students have taken pictures for their new identifications to ensure everyone's safety. Norristown Area High School off to a good start.

Back to School Night is an amazing opportunity to anticipate and plan a successful school year. This year, the relationship between the school and your family is more important than ever before because our classrooms are full, and so is our resolve to make it a great year! We are prepared to make this a year of demonstrated progress for our school and community. We are using the tools from the pandemic to offer more opportunities for teachers and parents to strengthen our partnership. On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of the Norristown Area High School, I thank you for your support.
