This year's NMHS Local Scholarship Application is released!  Seniors can click HERE to access and complete it.  Due Friday, February 18, 2022.

This is a great opportunity to apply for multiple scholarships with this one application.  This application connects you with multiple scholarship opportunities thanks to several local organizations partnering with us for scholarship candidate information.  We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.

Please read the instructions and fill in all required information. If you have any questions please let your current counselor know and they will help guide you through the process.

Check out our College Financial Aid page for more info about accessing $$$ free money $$$ for higher education.

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.
