NHCS Educators Are...

NHCS educators and staff are smart, solution-oriented, reflective, and passionate. They are mission-driven: they want to help each of our scholars achieve future success by preparing them for college, career and life. They like being a part of a dynamic, hard-working team. They believe that they can truly make a difference and they are confident in what they are doing, but they are humble enough to know that they can always improve.

Join our team!

We are hiring for the 2024-2025 school year.

At NHCS, we do not give up on kids. Our goal of preparing all of our scholars for college, career and life success is shared by every staff member and drives everything that happens in our school. All members of our school community share a common set of high expectations for scholar achievement and behavior.
