I had only one true opportunity, and it was from the dual credit program. I got my associates degree my junior year of high school, which was good, but after that, there was really nothing for me there. Its a decent, small school that's pretty average. Its good if you live in the area, but its nothing special.

the school provides many opportunities to do our best. We are funded to attend NNMC for free to pursue an associates degree. the staff is very caring about students. If a student needs help, the teacher is willing to stay after school to tutor the student. The academics it the top priority for the school, to get the students college ready. The school is very safe, we have a closed campus and it limits who is allowed to enter. the facilities are very good and are kept with high maintenance.
