Hello Firebird Families,

The Junior-Senior Prom this past Friday was a big success and everyone that attended looked amazing. This upcoming week we will have an early release day on Wednesday, which means we will dismiss at 12:30.

Student drivers, a reminder that the expectation is that once you have parked your car in the student parking lot, you then enter the school immediately. We will be monitoring this and need your assistance in this regard as well.

PBIS is hosting a fundraiser for our next event- Field Day! Classes will compete against each other so each class has a specific color shirt with their graduating year on them. Cost is $15 and proceeds go to support to PBIS student rewards. The event is May 2nd. The tshirts are on sale through next Friday, April 4th! https://roundhereclothingco.printavo.com/merch/snhs-pbis-2025/

Upcoming Events:

  • Monday, March 31st - NC Check-Ins for students who are currently in Math I and III classes.

  • Tuesday, April 1st - Nash Community College representative will be on campus for students interested in attending NCC.

  • Saturday, April 8th - The band will have their annual Mattress sale from 10:00-4:00. (See the flier below)
