The teachers are enthusiastic and dedicated, the administration is good, we have a lot of technology (SmartBoards in every classroom, several computer labs, many computers in science classrooms, lots of equipment, etc.), and the building is entirely new (finished just a couple of years ago). NHS provides a lot of community & school spirit and an ideal place for learning. It is a very good high school with unique qualities. Highly recommended.
This school and district has a horrible new students program, actually it doesn't have one at all. While the teachers were overall average, the comunity while seeming family friendly and all, is actually very exclusive and only accepting of people they've known since childhood. I would not recomend going here to a new student.
I think its a good school with great teachers. However the quality of classrooms could be improved some. On a 1(bad) to 10(good) scale id give it a 8.
