NCHS & BEYOND

What is NCHS & Beyond?

NCHS & Beyond, a graduation requirement, is the process at Northwest Christian High School for successfully preparing for what is to come after high school graduation. Each student will be placed in a cohort of students with a teacher advisor. Students will complete a variety of self-reflective activities, gather evidence, and compile into a portfolio. During senior year, the portfolio will be submitted and presented to a committee of evaluators. Items in the checklist below must be satisfactorily completed and submitted to the student’s advisor by mid-May at the final NCHS & Beyond meeting. Ten hours of community service are required each school year.
