Relationships ‘lured’ closer by fishing

Many children experience fishing at a young age alongside a family member. A few students have continued this pastime in their high school years with friends.

Some, like senior Jack Church, picked up fishing while vacation with family in Florida. “I was on vacation when I was younger, around five years old, and I went out with my Dad for four hours,” he said. ”We didn’t catch anything, but since then we’ve always gone fishing on vacations – fresh water and salt water, we’d try it out.”

According to the special schedule on the NCHS homepage, “the exams will continue (in the same order) the next day the 2nd Semester will begin next Wednesday, Jan. 26, with a Day C Homeroom Schedule.” Also, according to Principal Tony Pavia’s e-mail on Jan. 18, if there is a delay on an exam day the first exam will be administered at 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. and the second exam at 11:30 to 1:00 p.m.

Rain or shine, snow or sleet, Principal Tony Pavia stands at the front entrance, with coffee cup in hand, greeting every student by name. “When other principals are focused on scores and grades, he’s focused on creating an environment that is safe where [students] feel inspired, challenged, and nurtured,” school psychologist Sandera Warkentin, who works on the Names Can Hurt program, said.
