Great place to go to school to. The teachers are amazing always trying to keep the class engaged and energetic.

I think overall the experience has been very good. Mainly, the school prepares you very well for college with councilors, community service requirements, etc. I wish the school had made it easier for students to take AP classes earlier to have a more competitive profile for colleges. I also think that the school spirit is low in comparison to other schools. I am unsure why this is, but I wish a stronger school-wide community existed.

NHS has over 1700+ students. Academics are solid; some teachers are great and some not so great; college counseling is mediocre; not much diversity; facilities are old and need to be updated; theater program and director is amazing, but facilities need updating.
