Just graduated this past June an I had never knew any of this amazing stuff involving the teachers. It was a pleasure going to NPHS, it was so much better than my old high school.

I wouldnt be where I am today without the guidance (and patience) these awesome people showed me. Their personalities definitely reflect into the classrooms and it should never change!! Especially Mrs. Scanlon for proving to us all that you can be forever young!
