N-CCS students and staff had a great first week of school. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, September 5th.

The safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority. We are proud to be able to serve you and your children, and we will continually strive to provide a safe learning environment for them. In order to maintain a safe environment for our students, it is necessary that we practice our emergency and crisis response plans by having drills designed to exercise our procedures. Drills allow us to evaluate our emergency operations plan and improve our response skills. This week our students practiced and discussed multiple drills. The link below has additional information on the types of drills we may practice throughout the year.

Friday night was special at Gurley Stadium as we hosted several of our Red Blazer recipients under the Red Blazer tent and recognized them at halftime. We recognized Pat Gibson, Don Greenlee, Mary Greenlee, Kim Lutz, Melanie Elrod, Tim Elrod, and Stine Isenhour. These individuals have given of their time, talents, effort, finances, and other resources for the betterment of the staff and students of Newton-Conover City Schools. The success of the district over the years is due in part to these dedicated individuals.
Thank you, Michael Lingle, N-CHS athletics sideline photographer, for the photos.




We want to wish all our students and staff a wonderful school year. #groundedandgrowing
