NEHS HIGHLANDER STUDENT NEWS
Academic Excellence & Attendance CertificatesWe wanted to share some awesome information. After the first 9 weeks of our school year, 1119 students will be receiving in the mail an academic certificate, attendance certificate, or both!
We have 912 Highlander students receiving an academic excellence certificate. Last school year after our first 9 weeks, we had close to 650 students receiving this certificate. That is is 22% growth for our students, wow! That means we have over 80% of our students receiving a 3.0 GPA or higher on this campus.
We have 697 students receiving an attendance certificate, that is for having a 90% attendance or higher for the first 9 weeks!
Kudos to all of you, and our students. We have so many of our students doing great things on this campus!
