NHS seniors collected donations of 2,250 lbs of food for the Gray House Food Pantry in Springfield. Donations from staff, students, and community members made up the largest single donation to Gray House since March 2020, when the number of clients served increased by 118%..
After careful consideration, our Superintendent, Mrs. Hoffman and our building principal, Mr. Schnepp determined that it is in the best interests of our students and staff to offer our 2021 spring night school semester in a remote setting. With this new development, students who enroll will NOT be held to a 5 pm to 8 pm schedule on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Remote learning is self-driven and requires 30 hours AND a passing grade of a 65 or better to earn credit for the class.
Classes are now flexible and students will be using our GradPoint software to complete their courses.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at jwhite@agawamed.org.
Registration will NOT be remote but will be in person at the rotunda entrance of the high school at the scheduled times.
Thank you for your continued understanding.

As of February 22, both cohorts at the high school will be having in person learning Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Please email Mr. Schnepp if you have a conflict or a concern and need to remain in the 2 day hybrid model.
Parents of remote only students should let the school know by March 26 if they plan to switch to the hybrid model for term 4. At that time we will look at the numbers and determine what model we will use for the 4th term.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to the "Senior Moms" for organizing, packing and distributing the gift bags for the Celebrating Seniors Day.

Thanks for all of the time and energy you put into making this a huge success. Tom Schnepp
