NRHS Senior Gives Back to the Community through the Wounded Warrior Project
Albert Armin, a senior at NRHS, is running a campaign through the Wounded Warrior Project from September 22 through October 3, 2025.  Every day, 75 wounded warriors and family members sign up to receive critical services and support offered by the Wounded Warrior Project. By supporting this campaign, you can help pay for mental health treatment, job consultation, and medical bills for military members who were wounded during service to the nation. Additionally, a donation of $15 or more will receive a free signed copy of the book Three Essays on World War One, provided by the author, a North Royalton senior.

NRHS Choir Director, Sydney Jahnigen, Performing at the Weathervane Playhouse
Ms. Jahnigen has been working at Weathervane Playhouse in Akron as a cast member of the regional premiere of “Come From Away.”  Come from Away is a musical based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

The show opened on September 11 and runs for 5 weeks until October 12th. Tickets can be found here.

Congratulations to NRHS National Merit Scholarship Commended Students
The following students have earned the honor of National Merit Scholarship Commended Students.  This recognition places them among approximately 34,000 high performers nationwide.  Congratulations to Angela Armbruster, Alden Brinkley, Naisha Chopra, Sana Hameed, Kingston Luong, Milin Mathur, and Nyah Palmer.

NO SCHOOL Friday, October 10, 2025
School will not be in session on Friday, October 10, 2025, for NEOEA Day.  This is a great day to schedule college visits, job shadowing, or appointments for students.

CVCC Buses
We will provide shuttle buses to and from CVCC for students needing transportation.  Students riding the buses from the high school to CVCC will be picked up in the staff parking lot behind the high school and the buses will depart at 7:10 am each morning.  The shuttle will run from CVCC to NRHS mid-day to bring the AM students back and take the PM students to CVCC.  The shuttle will run at the end of the day to bring the PM students back to NRHS.

Please be advised that on the following days (when NRHS is not in session), the CVCC shuttle buses WILL transport students.  However, students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the high school.
