I went to school here and it's such a great school. The teachers really challenge you and I feel like I was well prepared for college. As for extracurricular activities, there are a lot! I was in the music program, and they could use more money...but they're great. Sports is definitely big in this school, and if you are involved you'll love it. The art program is good too, they have a few co-programs with some local colleges. There are huge number of clubs. The business prgm is such a great experience and really makes you stand out when applying for colleges. It's important to be well-rounded and being involved in a variety of programs really makes you stand out when applying. Colleges note that you can manage the college workload. It's known to be a great school by local colleges and they know that you''ll succeed.

overcrowded and poor music and art programs. more funding should go to those programs instead of sports.

I am a former student, as was my husband, my 3 siblings and my husbands 5 siblings. My 4 children have all graduated from NHP Memorial. My youngest last year. Currently my 2 nephews attend. NHP Memorial has always been a wonderful school. Like anything you get out want you put into it. The alot of the teachers are young but they can relate to the students and become great role models. Special Ed dept. has been a great help to my family. They listen to your needs and aren't afraid to try new things. The school is safe.

NHP Memorial is a great school community with dynamics that foster the foundations of a strong education. It is the perfect school for students to mature through during their teenage years. As a 7-12 school, it allows for a unique age set up that give the younger students admirable role models. Also, the 6 years together makes for strong friendships, grade camaraderie, and school spirit. The school has numerous activities to become involved in. Further, as for the young teachers, I think they invigorate the school especially with innovate styles. The fact that there are a variety of different teachers adds to the learning experience. Even so, there are a variety of extra help programs & of course, tutoring from the upperclassmen (another advantage of 7-12). Ultimately, the school & student have to work together & NHP certainly makes this possible; this is what I did & now attend an Ivy.

This assessment is based on the past six years of experiences with two of my kids at NHP Memorial. Social Studies (including Model UN), English and Foreign Languages are the strong Academic areas. Math is decent while Music is on the decline. Discipline in school is OK but outside is not OK. Science focus is weak, which is disappointing. The combined Junior/Senior High schools grades forces students to be in the same building for six years, which saps enthusiasm after 4 yrs.

great school for a student that wants to excel, otherwise average.

Good School. I think the teachers are great and the principal really enforces rules with the help of the security guards and the dean.

This is a wonderful school full of programs and academic ventures. You would be dumb to give up a school like this great one.
