The only thing ugly about NCHS are our ugly Christmas sweaters

Today Ms. Rosendary's English 2 classes made smores in the bus lot while they learned about different holiday traditions and cultures that also align with their English 2 reading and writing lessons. What a great way to incorporate the holiday spirit with priority standards and learning

Hello Cougar families
Any student has not taken their English 2 writing EOC, is scheduled to take it in the auditorium tomorrow, December 7th upon your arrival at school. Please ensure that you have rested, studied, and had a balanced breakfast. Thank you!

Here at NCHS we believe in student voice. We have begun a new program with students and Mr. Darby to gain insight into what the students need, what needs to be heard, to brainstorm, and to collaborate together. Our new "Donuts with Darby" began today with our Student Influencer leaders in their 3rd block Global Citizenship class. The students were even able to pitch their winter spirit week ideas to Mr. Darby. We are very excited for this new project and very proud of our student leaders at NCHS.

Congrats. NCHS is on fireeeeeeeee in athletics this week!

Congratulations to Coach Pool, Coach Floyd, and the Cougar varsity wrestlers on their duals victory over Military Magnet tonight
💪💪💪

Students, Teachers, and Stakeholders: Tomorrow, December 6th we will have mandatory English 2 EOC writing make-ups. If your student is enrolled in an English 2 class and missed the writing EOC today, December 5th, they must report to the auditorium first thing upon arrival tomorrow, December 6th. Please ensure they have rested, studied, and eaten breakfast. Please ensure they are on time tomorrow. Thank you for your assistance with this.

Estudiantes, maestros, padres, y tutores: mañana, 6 de diciembre, tendremos recuperaciones del examen obligatorio estatual de escritura de inglés 2 EOC. Si su estudiante está inscrito en una clase de Inglés 2 y no presento el EOC de escritura hoy, 5 de diciembre, debe presentarse en el auditorio a primera hora de su llegada mañana, 6 de diciembre. Asegúrese de que hayan descansado, estudiado y desayunado. Por favor, asegúrese de que lleguen a tiempo mañana. Gracias por asistir con esto.

We are so proud of our NCHS JROTC cadets. They are marching in the North Charleston holiday parade today

Buenos días familias de Cougar.El lunes 5 de diciembre de 2022, cualquier estudiante inscrito en una clase de Inglés 2 tomará el examen EOC estatal solo para la escritura de Inglés 2. Este es un examen obligatorio para todos los estudiantes inscritos en la clase de Inglés 2 y también cuenta como una calificación importante en su clase. Es MUY importante que se asegure de que su estudiante llegue a la escuela a tiempo, preparado, bien descansado, habiendo desayunado y listo. Su estudiante se reportará a sus clases regulares programadas y seguirá un horario regular de campanas. Tomarán el examen estatal durante la hora de la clase. Si tienen Inglés 2 durante el bloque 4, se presentarán en el primer almuerzo y luego tomarán su examen de escritura de Inglés 2 durante el bloque 3 con su maestro de Inglés 2 en el salón de clases. Asegurense a sus estudiantes que estudien todo el fin de semana como sus maestros los han preparado para hacerlo. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en llamar a la oficina principal y preguntar. Nuevamente, este es un examen muy importante y queremos que a nuestros estudiantes les vaya bien. Estamos muy orgullosos de su arduo trabajo. Además, asegúrense a su estudiante de participar en el concurso de preguntas del día de EOC hasta el 10 de enero de 2022 para tener la oportunidad de recibir algunos Air Pods de Apple. Llamaremos más cerca de las fechas del EOC de enero para informarle sobre la logística de los exámenes estatales para el 9 y 10 de enero. Gracias y pasen un buen fin de semana.

Hello Cougar families:

Monday, December 5th, 2022, any student enrolled in an English 2 class will be taking the state EOC exam for the English 2 writing only. This is a required test for every student enrolled in English 2 and it also counts as a major grade in their class. It is VERY important that you ensure your student arrives at school on time, prepared, well-rested, having eaten breakfast, and ready to go. Your student will report to their regular scheduled classes and follow a regular bell schedule. They will take the state exam during their class time. If they have English 2 during 4th block, they will report to 1st lunch and then take their English 2 writing exam during 3rd block with their English 2 teacher in the classroom. Please encourage your students to study all weekend like their teachers have prepared them to do so. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the front office and ask. Again, this is a very important test and we want our students to do well. We are very proud of their hard work. Also, please encourage your student to enter the EOC question of the day contest until January 10th, 2022 for a chance to enter a set of Apple air pods. We will call closer to the January EOC dates to inform you of the testing logistics for January 9th and 10th. Thank you and have a great weekend.

Our NCHS basketball teams are on fire this season! Congratulations to our Varsity, JV, and Lady Cougars on their win tonight!

We are very thankful for Clint Echols, our FCA representative for his hard work in starting to establish this organization at NCHS. Coach Keefe is pictured here introducing new students to what FCA is about. If they wish to join they may see Coach Keefe.

At NCHS we love our community partnerships. We are so lucky to have a partnership with Trident Technical College. The Trio Talent Search team and TTC Educational Program Coordinators came to NCHS and joined all lunches in search of talent among our amazing students. Scan the QR code to apply.

Today Ms. Camarillo, one of our instructional coaches, Ms. Studemeyer, one of our assistant principals, and Ms. Murray, our teacher librarian, assisted in Ms. Rosendary's English 2 classes with writing preparation for their EOC on December 5th. Ms. Rosendary does a great job setting her students up for success

Wednesday, College of Charleston's Upward Bound Representatives were at North Charleston to show their support and recruit students for their awesome and supportive program. Parents, Guardians, and Students, please check out this program and the wonderful services they provide for our students.

At NCHS we believe in student voice. We believe our students should have a say in their education, be able to express what works, what needs tweaking, and be able to collaborate on ideas to best fit their needs. Once a month Mr. Darby will meet with a different group of students during "Donuts with Darby," to engage in a student voice session. Today was the first of these sessions with our brand new Global Citizenship class (our student leaders). The students were also able to present their idea for a winter spirit week coming up at the end of the semester. We are so proud of these student leaders and so grateful we have a team that stresses the importance of student voice
