Pathway Completed Students are expected to complete at least one Pathway sequence. Pathways consist of three sequential courses (they must be taken in order). Pathways can either be CTAE, academic, world language, or fine arts.

World Language Required? Students do NOT have to take a world language to graduate. If you want to be eligible to enroll directly in a four-year college following graduation, however, you must complete two credits of the same world language.

AP Courses Advanced Placement courses allow you to take a college-level class at NPHS. If you score high enough on the AP test at the end of the year, you could earn college credit. If you wish to take an AP class next year, please talk with your current teacher.

Move On When Ready The Move On When Ready program allows students to earn both high school and college credit at the same time. If you are interested in this program, please visit the NPHS MOWR web page for more info!

Work-Based Learning Approved juniors or seniors can leave to work in a job tied to their Pathway. Need more info? See the WBL website for info!

Requests vs. Actual Classes

We always stress to students and their families that they are making course requests for next year, not actually signing up for specific classes. When the master schedule is finalized over the summer, conflicts may develop between course requests and actual periods that certain courses will be offered. Because of this potential conflict, students are asked to select several alternate courses. If a student cannot be scheduled for their top choices, every attempt will be made to schedule them into the alternatives they indicated during registration.

If a student requests a course or an alternative course during registration, they will not be allowed to make changes to those courses next fall semester. Once the master schedule is set, we lose a great deal of our flexibility in making changes (due to a finite number of teachers and available seats). Please advise your students to consider their choices carefully before making their course requests.

Promotion Requirements: In order to be considered "promoted" to the next grade level in high school, a student must earn a minimum number of credits by the end of each year. In other words, you have to pass your classes!

10th Grade = earn 5 credits by end of 9th 11th Grade = earn 11 credits by end of 10th 12th Grade = earn 17 credits by end of 11th

If a student fails to earn the required number of credits, he or she will be considered a "repeater" for the next year. Getting off-track means that a student will not graduate on time unless he or she completes additional coursework during summer school or by some other means (see your counselor for more info on options).
