Unity Fri-Yay! Come together as a community of unity and wear green as a symbol to prevent Gun Violence and share your photos in the comments!
Gun violence is preventable when you know the signs. “Say Something” upstanders have helped Sandy Hook Promise prevent 7 school shootings and 60+ acts of violence with a weapon.


Northern Nash High School Newsletter, March 4 - 15: https://ncps.edurooms.com/engage/northern-nash-high-school/newsletters/weekly-update


In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it. People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence.

I promise to be an #Upstander and ”Say Something” when I see someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others.

FAFSA Event Thur.


Parents please remind your 11th grade students that if they did not complete the training that was conducted yesterday 2/20/2024 they must complete the training. I will be trying to contact them during the school day, however some are on and off campus. A reminder from Mom/Dad always helps complete the process. They must complete the training or they will not get a login for the ACT Test that will be taken on Tuesday, February 27th. We are just five days away from the test. Thank you for all you do supporting your student and Northern Nash.

Good Evening, Bus 244 for Northern Nash will not have a driver in the morning. Please plan accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience that this situation has caused. Thank you for your patience and have a great evening.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
The State Board of Education is required by General Statute §115C-174.11 (c)(4), to plan for and require
the administration of the ACT test to all public-school students who are enrolled in the eleventh grade.
Your student will take the statewide ACT test, free of charge, on February 27, 2024.
Colleges may use ACT scores for admissions decisions, course placement, academic advising, and loans
and scholarships. Students participating in the statewide ACT administration can select for free up to
four colleges (or other reporting agencies) to receive their ACT scores. The ACT is also used as part of
North Carolina’s school accountability program.
Students who have taken either the SAT or the ACT before February 2, 2024, and have scores that meet
the college readiness benchmark standards, do not have to participate in the statewide ACT
administration. However, it is the students’ responsibility to notify the school that they do not wish to
participate in the ACT. Before submitting a request for exemption, students must have either SAT or
ACT test scores that meet or exceed the following college readiness benchmarks:
SAT college readiness benchmark scores include the following subtests:
Test SAT Score
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 530
Mathematics 540
ACT college readiness benchmark scores include all of the following subtests:
Test ACT Score
English 18
Mathematics 22
Reading 22
Science 23
Students may not combine test scores from prior, separate administrations to meet college readiness
benchmark scores. All college readiness benchmark scores must be attained during the same test
administration. For consideration of an ACT testing exception, students must complete a copy of the ACT
Testing Exception Request Form (available at the school or on the school website) and submit the request
to the principal or the principal’s designee no later than February 2, 2024.
If you have questions or concerns about the upcoming ACT administration at Northern Nash High School,
Please contact Timothy Messer, at the following;
tmmesser@ncpschools.net
(252) 937-9040
Sincerely,
Assistant Principal Timothy Messer
Northern Nash High School
