Class Fees
Class Fees
In accordance with state law, the school district will provide each student with the materials and supplies necessary to learn the basic skills taught in their classes. However, many students desire to extend their creativity and educational experiences beyond the basics and many students wish to keep the projects they make in school. In these cases, special materials may be purchased at school, when available (project purchase fee), or brought from home or other sources.
Funds are available to pay for fees for any student who needs help, including all students who qualify for Free or Reduced Price Meals who have a fee waiver form submitted.
For a list of fees, please see pages 13-14 of the NCHS Course Catalog by clicking the button below.
