What is NCHS and Beyond?
NCHS and 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.
