Rising 10th-12th graders can now submit their requets for the 2024-2025 school year! How do they do that? Find out at the Rising 10th-12th Info page. The deadline to submit elective requests and express interest in "add-ons" is Friday, March 15, 2024.
At the conclusion of today's 8th Grade Expo field trip at North Murray, North Murray CTAE teachers, counselors, and other helpers headed to Bagley to facilitate course selection.
Did your 8th grader miss the course selection event? Or do you just want to see more about what to consider for elective selections? Check out our Rising 9th Grade Info page for course selection directions, the menu of intro electives, the Honors application, and more. The DEADLINE for current 8th/rising 9th grade course selections and Honors applications is Monday, December 19. Couldn't make it to Senior Info Night (October 27, 2022)? We missed you, but we get it! Whether the stars aligned for you to come or not, key resources are available on-demand at our Senior Info page. This includes the full presentation recording (also embedded in this post below), downloadable PDF of the slides, copies of the handouts, and additional related resources. It's time for students to give their input on how they want next year's schedule to go!
This week, NMHS school counselors and staff facilitated two advisement periods for students: one to preview their course selection options, and another to actually make their course selections. Visit our Rising 10th-12th Grades Info page for more information! Students have through February 5 to enter their elective selections into Student Portal, as well as submit an add-ons form if interested in either of the add-on options. Required core/required PEs will be reviewed and adjusted on all students' academic plans by school counselors in the coming weeks. Students do not need to worry about these items if they look a little "off" at this time. Dual Enrollment (DE) is an opportunity for Georgia high schoolers to take college classes in high school, earn both high school and college credit from those classes, and pay nothing out of pocket to do so! Are you interested in learning more about this?
If so, we hope to see you at our Dual Enrollment Info Night! It will be at 6-7 PM, Thursday, January 27, 2022, in the NMHS Theatre. Learn the latest DE admissions procedures, understand both the benefits and challenges of DE, how it fits among your high school and college plans, and more! Also, check out our updated Dual Enrollment page! The NMHS DE Contract & Selection Form is available there for new DE students to complete. Also, within a few business days of the DE Info Night, materials that were released at that night will also be posted to our DE page. Check out our newly released Intro to High School video for 8th grade parents (and any students who need the refresher)! 8th graders can still edit their elective selections in Student Portal through December 18. For those interested in taking Honors core high school classes, you must submit an Honors application by December 18. This is a parent follow-up to our recent 8th Grade Expo. Bagley 8th graders visited NMHS on Tuesday, December 14, for a tour and immersive demonstration of all of our Pathway electives. In general, Pathways are sequences of 3 related career, fine arts, or world language classes, and each student must complete at least one Pathway to graduate. NMHS hosts the 8th Grade Expo to help future Mountaineers learn which Pathways might connect with their career/skill goals.
A few days ahead of 8th Grade Expo, NMHS counselors visited Bagley 8th graders to present much of the info you see in this Intro to High School video. At the end of 8th Grade Expo, NMHS counselors and pathway teachers stepped 8th graders through the process of making their elective course selections for 9th grade. Please visit our Freshman Info page for more about freshman course selection and the transition to high school. Many thanks to the senior parents (and their seniors :) who attended the Class of 2022 Senior Info Night! We hope it was helpful in shaping your game plan for finishing high school strong and transitioning smoothly to higher education.
Slideshow, handouts, and other resources from our Senior Info Night can be found on our Senior Info Night page. A video of the presentation will also be posted there as soon as it is available. Hey there, juniors! Remember taking the PSAT about this time last year? Let's talk about how that went! Follow this link for instructions/links for today's classroom activity.
The moment you've been waiting for is here--schedules are released!
NMHS is releasing schedules online. View your schedule on your Infinite Campus Portal account beginning Friday, August 20, 2021. Portal login instructions can be found here. Something wrong with your schedule? Submit an online Schedule Change Request Form, which will be available from August 20th until noon on September 2nd. Schedule change requests will only be accepted through this form. Also, we did our best with "wants" that were expressed during course selection in the winter/early spring. At this time we will primarily address "needs" based schedule change requests. The role of school counselors is to deliver a program that nurtures development in Academic, College & Career, and Social-Emotional Domains. To continue this under the current, extraordinary circumstances, we have assembled resources categorized under these very domains. Visit our new menu for Resources During COVID-19 for more! We will also update these pages periodically as more resources/tools come to our attention. We also plan to add a page under this new menu to offer activity suggestions by grade level.
