Going off-campus has been a tradition for almost a decade for students. However, determining which of the countless delis to choose always plagued upperclassmen seeking the perfect. In order to settle this debate, we surveyed 200 students in order to nominate three sandwiches, one from each of students’ favorite lunch establishments: Tony’s Deli, Forest Street Deli and Chicken Joe’s.
In towns such as New Canaan, Darien, and Greenwich, teens feel pressured to receive top marks throughout high school and immediately proceed to elite universities. Whether it be work-overload, homesickness, or general irresponsibility, many students fail to resolve early problems they develop, and one in every four college students drop out before they have completed their freshman year (American College Testing).

Judith Altmann, one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors, spoke to students on Thursday, Jan. 10, thanks to the efforts of history teacher Jen Fine. The assembly ran through periods two and seven, and students attending included juniors taking U.S. History and sophomores in Global History II.
Ms. Fine met Ms. Altmann when, as a student teacher at West Hill High School, she was asked to find a Holocaust survivor to speak to students.

Since the start of 2011, winter weather has caused three delayed openings, two early dismissals and six snow days. Due to the record amount of snow, students had only eight full days of school last month. NCHS began February with dual snow days on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. Currently the last day of school is scheduled to be Wednesday, Jun. 22.

Valentine’s Day traditionally sets the scene for people to get close to one another. Romantic love is celebrated by the giving of flowers, chocolates and greeting cards that have a quirky but cute sayings. Monday, February 14 is the perfect opportunity for NCHS students to wear their hearts on their sleeves, to muster up all their courage and give their hearts to that special someone.
