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 

Thank you, Mrs. Achgill!

NCHS Librarian, Mrs. Achgill provided students a "buffet" of books. 

Mrs. Achgill led students through a group activity that allowed students to 

"taste" a variety of books.  Ultimately, every student found a book to devour! 

"I like my book, If I Grow Up, because I can picture everything I read about in this book.  It's like I have a movie going on in my head."  -Marcus

"I like the book, I Beat the Odds by Michael Oher. It is the story from the movie, Blind Side. I like the book because it is from Michael Oher's point of view.  I recommend this book to football fans because you get an inside look on Michael's life before he was drafted." -Cordell

"My book, Tyrell, is a very gripping drama that makes you interested in the main character from page one!" 

-Alex

"I would recommend Tyrell to males who like books that talk about real life struggles and how to get out of the situations." -Raven 

"The Purge is interesting because it relates to high school and the challenges that people face.  I recommend The Purge to other freshmen because it is about a student who is trying to fit in with school, sports, and friends." -Mychaela

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.  

Who will be our NCTS student of the Month?

NCTS Visits the NCHS Information Center

What did we learn at the IC?

We can visit the IC during study hall. We just need to get a pass from one of our academic teachers. 

We can visit the IC during lunch :)

We can visit the IC before school; it opens at 7:00 a.m.
