NHS has great opportunities for both students as well as adults. Given that Napa High is in the Vine Valley, many connections can be made with local companies as well as international.

Very ableist school. Will deny your child certain opportunities for something as simple as Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If your kid has ANY mental illness or disorder, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. Dance program admitted they deny students access to their department just for having an anxiety disorder.

Throughout my 4 years at Napa High School i've been able to learn a lot in relation to various subjects. I appreciate the complexity available and the amount of extracurriculars that are accesible to students.

I'm set to graduate in June of this year. My overall experience with the school hasn't been great.AP teachers and courses are challenging & rewarding, but college preparatory courses are absolutely horrifying. I decided to take a college prep English class this year (never having taken prep before)...
