Hello NEHS Families,Welcome to Semester 2! The first week of February marks a fresh start and a new chapter for students. New classes, new routines, and new opportunities to reset, refocus, and keep moving forward.
We encourage students to stay with it during these first few weeks — showing up, asking questions, and building strong habits now will set the tone for a successful semester. Progress happens with consistency, and we’re here to support every step of the way.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we launch Semester 2 together.
Go North! 💥
