Last week, 28 Nesbitt students traveled to Greensboro for the State HOSA Conference! 🩺✨

Students competed in a variety of events, sharpened their skills, and attended breakout sessions focused on future careers in healthcare. It was an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and represent Nesbitt with excellence.

In the midst of our busy schedule, we even made time to step away and enjoy a peaceful walk in nature!

We are so proud of these students for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism!💜⚡️

At NDA, pigs really DO fly… and science comes alive 🐷✨

From Physics students launching flying pigs to explore centrifugal force, to Biology students turning jumping jacks into color-changing chemical reactions 🧪💨—classes here are anything but ordinary.

At Nesbitt, learning is active, exciting, and just a little bit unexpected
That’s the NDA difference. 💜⚡

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our students who have been accepted into the North Carolina Governor’s School!

Their hard work, passion, and dedication have truly paid off, and they will represent our school in the following areas:

• Sabrina Almaguer – Natural Science
• Etta Dezio – Natural Science
• Crystal Garcia-Hernandez – Spanish
• Sophia Nerenberg – English
• Sage Price – Choral Music

The future is bright, and we couldn’t be more excited to see all they accomplish! 💜
