Math 3 students should report to the media center to drop off their chromebooks and then report back to the gym. Be sure to get plenty of rest this evening and get a good breakfast in the morning. Students should arrive by 7:40 and make sure they have a fully charged chromebook. On Tuesday, Biology students will be taking their EOC. They should report to the media center and all other items mentioned for Math 1 and Math 3 students applies to the Biology students as well. Wednesday is Graduation. I look forward to being able to celebrate our 2025 graduates at Lenoir Rhyne University! Thursday is EOC readministration. If this applies to any students, you will be contacted by the school.

Shout out to the 15 students who came in on a Saturday morning to take a practice AP Calculus exam! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Congratulations to Ms. Greenwald, 2025 Newton-Conover City Schools Teacher of the Year!!! We're very proud of you!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

From Mr. Escamilla about Variety Show: I wanted to take time to invite everyone to this year's Variety Show! If you aren't familiar with this show, think the muppet show meets the band world. This is a student run show, from the acts to the backstage and tech crews! Both nights provide the same acts, but on Saturday we crown the Band King and Queen! We are also doing a silent auction for baskets provided by the different sections and various donated items such as a cake donated by Sarah Anne's Cupboard. This is a great way to support the band and watch these students show off their talents!

Good luck to our Science Olympiad team as they travel to Raleigh tomorrow for the state competition!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Our district used school safety funds to provide window wraps for our school. They look amazing!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter
