7:15 There’re a lot of kids milling the hallways, craning their necks in unusual ways and trying to figure out why room 205 is next to room 216. They make things really confusing by asking you to go to a class you’re not going to find again for a year/ haven’t been in for a year. They say homeroom won’t change for all four years of high school but from experience, they lie. To the kid who asked where room 208 is: no idea. Sorry.

What I remember of Nairobi is highway from the airport where guards were stationed with guns that had been painted gold, so they’d be obvious even at night.

Dr. Bryan Luizzi, Principal’s Tony Pavia’s successor, visited NCHS on Friday, April 8, and was given by a tour by Mr. Pavia and Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Abbey.
“It’s a big change [for the school] – it’s a new principal,” Dr. Luizzi said. “Anytime you move into a new school community there’s a little anxiety around getting to know everybody, but it’s something I enjoy. My favorite part of the day is when I get to move around the building and talk to students and people.”
