The NCTS Team Accomplishes the Challenge Education Course!

While participating in the Challenge Education Course, NCTS students practiced teamwork, communication, perseverance, and problem-solving skills.  Students exercised these important life skills as they accomplished a series of challenging tasks. 

"The games were challenging. Once we began to listen to each other and communicate effectively, 

we were able to complete the games. We discovered that teamwork and communication 

are the keys to completing the challenges." -Asia

"The games took a lot of perseverance and teamwork.  At first, we were not getting along or helping each other. Then, we started to encourage each other, and we started to do a lot better."  -Alex

"As long as we worked as a team, the games were not challenging at all. We just kept trying to help each other.  We were able to finish the games because we acted like a team." Xavier

"Communicating was a challenge for us, but we overcame the challenge by creating game plans.  In conclusion, we all had good ideas, and we were able to put our ideas together 

to come up with a solution." -Cordell

"We contributed our personal strengths to the games. I was able to offer my communication skills to help my team.  By communicating verbally and with hand gestures, I was able to help my team members line up on a balance beam in order of their birthdays." -Sidney

"My favorite game was when we lined up on the balance beam in order of our birthdays. This was hard because most of us couldn't talk and some of us were blindfolded.  This game took a lot of different communication skills."  -Jodeci

Guest Speakers: NCTS Alumni

 

"NCTS alumni told us they miss being in NCTS. They told us that we will miss it too, next year.  I think I will too." -Kourtney

 

 

"Alumni students told us to do all of our work, be on time, and take advantage of the help." -Asia

 

 

"The alumni told us to take advantage of the help we get in NCTS. They said that this will help us more than we are aware of right now."  -Kordell

 

 

"I remember that the alumni told us that NCTS is a good way to start off our freshmen year of high school.  They said we should be happy we are in this program because not everyone gets to have this opportunity."  -Xavier 

Welcome Back to School NCTS Alumni!

Essential Agreements

NCTS students and teachers worked together to create Essential Agreements. Using post-it notes, students expressed their academic and behavior expectations.  Based on these student-driven expectations, the NCTS team created six Essential Agreements that all 

students and teachers agree to honor this school year.
