You’re standing on top of the world. You stare down. There are 23 steps. You’re being sucked into your desire to fly over this spiral vertical bridge to enter a hierarchal high school lounge-a land of carb consumption.
You begin to descend from the stairs. There’s a courtyard on your right. Green Bushes. Three trees. Two outdoor tables (one black and one red). A ram statue. Label: freshman…
Take one look at head football coach Lou Marinelli’s roster, and you will notice one very distinct addition taking on the role of kicker this season. Junior Brianna Valente has done what no other female has done at our school before: scored a point at the varsity football level. With seven extra points already converted on the season, Brianna is giving Rams football fans a good reason to cheer for number 91.

One more week until Thanksgiving! THANK goodness. Student Coalition is still going around desperately trying to collect money for the annual Turkey Drive.

Not everyone gets to enjoy extravagant Thanksgiving dinners, and your donations will help make their meals possible…

Generally, most students go to bed late and wake up early, like junior Katie Scott. “I go to bed at 12 and wake up at 6,” she said.
Even so, others are like junior Elbek Abasov, and have a weird sleep schedule to get the work done in the day. “I probably get 5 hours of sleep each day,” he said “I come home, take a one to two hour nap, then work until 2 am and get up again at 6:10…”
For the past couple of years, many students and faculty have found their classrooms less than comfortable when it comes to temperature. Some classrooms are hot and some are cold. Why this inconsistent pattern?
Sean Killelea, teacher at NCHS, described his classroom temperature, “It’s definitely warmer than last year. Last year, I would need to come in a parka and a knit hat…”
