An ordinary classroom is visualized with a dry-erase board or a lecture in front of the class. NCHS has been breaking this stereotype by including alternative learning techniques to enhance the comprehension of a lesson. One effective way teachers have been using these techniques is by integrating a mock simulation with the curriculum.

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.

For students, winter usually isn’t a friend. Biting cold air and dropping temperatures force teens indoors, where heaping plates of holiday cooking are thrust in front of them. Whether someone is a year-round athlete, on their off-season, or doesn’t exercise at all, winter tends to bring a few presents and a few pounds.

Imagine this: A student given one month to write a 50,000 word creative piece (over 100 Microsoft Word pages), who’s keeping in mind that it’s not even for a grade. Many may be convinced that no one on Earth would ever choose to do such an assignment. On the contrary, students enjoy participating in this opportunity to expand their creative writing skills and experience the daunting task of novel writing.

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.
