Principal's Message

Hello, Colonial Nation! The faculty and staff of NOHS strive daily to provide a meaningful experience for all students, as well as parents and the community as a whole. High school can present a host of challenges for students and parents. Collectively, we will work to provide each student with the necessary tools to be successful in life along with an opportunity to pursue their individual interests, passions and dreams. Our goal is for all to achieve success and take advantage of their unique skills, providing a solid foundation for the future.

With all that our school has to offer, the fact remains that it is, and will continue to be, only as good as the people who are here and what they make of the experience.  Success, whether it is academic, athletic, artistic, or vocational does not result from simply being here, it comes from participation in learning, perseverance, preparation, politeness, and a spirit of making the most of the opportunities presented.  The opportunity to excel is available no matter what the area of interest.  The challenge for each individual is to find that area and pursue it with enthusiasm and vigor. By doing so, there will be benefits for both the individual and for our school as a whole to learn and grow.  Students and staff members need to do their best every day and recognize the connection between attitude, effort, and performance.

It is an honor and privilege to work with the students, the parents, the staff, and the community as the Principal of NOHS.  Together, we will empower our students to build the future!

Make it a great day or not, Colonials, the choice is yours!
