Each year, we look forward to dedicating our first day of school to the Freshman Class and Link Crew at NPHS. Link Crew is a nationally recognized program designated to make the transition to high school a positive one.
Junior and Senior students will serve as leaders and mentors for all incoming 9th graders starting on the first day of school and for the rest of their 9th grade year. Throughout the orientation, large and small group activities are designed to address students' needs and concerns. Students will go through an abbreviated daily schedule to find their classrooms, meet their teachers, and experience lunch. We'll have plenty of fun along the way and look forward to welcoming you to NPHS on orientation day!
