Our mission is to provide students with a dynamic and hands-on learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and technical expertise. We strive to equip our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their chosen careers and to become leaders in their fields. 

We are dedicated to offering a comprehensive education that integrates academic rigor with practical experience. Our goal is to prepare students for successful careers by providing them with the tools, resources, and industry connections needed to thrive in a competitive job market. 

Our mission is to inspire and prepare students to be lifelong learners and adaptable professionals. By combining rigorous academics with career-focused training, we aim to develop well-rounded individuals who are ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of an ever-evolving workforce. 

All students in grades 9-12 use a school-issued Chromebook.  Prior to the start of the school year, all forms and payments must be completed by students and parents.  This is a yearly process for all families. Forms are electronic and can be found on the website as well as linked here. There is one student Acceptable Use Agreement form and one parent Acceptable Use Agreement form.

There is also a yearly $25.00 insurance payment that is made electronically.

Make Your Payment

Students in grades 10-12 already have their devices and should ensure their devices are charged and ready for use.

Students in grade 9 will receive their Chromebook the first day of school.

Hodgson seeks to provide every 12th grade Career and Technical Education (CTE) student with a paid cooperative training job opportunity, which is a culminating experience in their senior year. This program enables seniors to work in paid entry-level positions in a business or related industry while completing their high school graduation requirements.

Last year, our class of 2023 was able to land cooperative work with more than 165 different employers and earned more than $ 2.75 million in wages during the school year. More than 115 students were offered full-time employment after graduation, and a large number accepted and began their careers.

This summer has been no different. Employers continue to call in daily for qualified students to fill their workforce! We need seniors who want to work and start their cooperative experience right away. You can contact Mr. Chris Moxley, Co-Op Coordinator, with any questions at 302-834-7740 or christopher.moxley@nccvt.k12.de.us.

Requests for student directory information - which is limited to a student's name, home address, and telephone number - are routinely received by our school from colleges, military recruiters, financial aid programs, and similar organizations. On occasion, and at the expressed approval of the principal, we do make this information available. Parents who do not wish to have their son’s/daughter's name included on student directory listings, please notify the school in writing by sending your notification to the Guidance Office or emailing Sarah.Olsavsky@nccvt.k12.de.us

Delaware Department of Education regulations do not permit students to be assigned to more than one bus. The Transportation Office can only route a bus to one address per student. This address is the address that was on the initial application and is listed as the physical address on file in the school data system. Bus passes will only be issued for Court Ordered Split Custody situations, in which the second guardian's address must be verified by the school and listed in Infinite Campus. Passes will NOT be issued for the following reasons:

• Employment (i.e. to get dropped off closer to the student's job, including their coop job)

• Staying with a relative or friend overnight or for the weekend

• Aftercare

• Getting off at a different stop on the same bus

Once bus passes are issued there are conditions that apply:

• Passes are issued to the closest stop on an existing route to the second address. We will not re-route a bus or create a stop. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a safe walking path, and it is expected that the student will be picked up and dropped off from the stop that is listed on the bus pass.

• The Transportation Office will not communicate your student's schedule to the bus driver. The expectation is that your student will communicate their schedule to the driver.

• You will not receive the “all calls” with updates or changes to that bus route. You only receive calls for the bus your student is assigned to.

• The student must always carry the pass in case there is a substitute driver on the bus.

• The pass is only valid if there are seats available on the bus.

• Passes can be revoked for behavioral issues or if a bus reaches maximum capacity (48) of students who are regularly assigned.

Prior to the start of the school year, all bus pass requests should be directed to the transportation office.  302-994-8544

This year the NCCVT School District is transitioning away from Parent Night due to very low attendance for many years.  In place of Parent Night, we are going to institute welcome videos from teachers as well as parent-teacher conferences. 

Below are some details:

• Parent Night will not be held this year

• Teachers will develop intro videos to be shared at the start of each course providing an overview of the course and expectations for a great learning environment.

• We will implement voluntary parent/guardian-teacher conferences (virtual or in-person) during the first semester and second semester on Asynchronous Days as follows:

  • 2024-2025 dates/times

    • 10/11/24 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

    • 3/7/25  11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Additional information will be communicated in the future regarding conferences.
