The APES Summer Assignment is required for all incoming APES students and will be collected for a grade in class on August 15, 2012. Please take pride in your work and complete it neatly. This is the first assignment for AP Environmental Science and in addition to creating a very useful study aid for your AP test, it also will give me an idea of your ability and work ethic.


Edline is hosting our new school website! Please be sure to add your email address to your Edline account so you can receive all class updates & announcements. Parents have real-time access to grades, school calendars, activites, and  more.

Welcome back to NAHS!

I am sure that you all had an amazing summer and are excited to get back to work. Please remember that I am here to support you in transitioning back into "school mode" and I am also available for tutoring. Let's work together to have a successful start this year. It is a lot easier to keep up than it is to catch up later!
