Can't wait until my children leave NHS. Most teachers are dedicated. However, administration acts like the students (Video of Assistant principal flipping off camera with principal). Downtown administration finds this behavior acceptable. Cliques, bullying and high suicide rate are all a major problem. Much nicer and newer schools to go to in the valley. Close Quote
