Principal's Message

Pack Community,

This is definitely the season to give thanks. I am truly thankful to be part of this amazing school  community. Our students are adjusting well to being back on campus. They are immersed in a wide array of rigorous and engaging projects, event nights, extracurricular activities, and school culture-building opportunities thanks to our outstanding facilitators/teachers. Our Fall Finals Week is here, and I’m certain that student efforts will continue to impress. 

Our 2022-23 CCNTH Recruitment season has begun. Our amazing Link Crew just presented our first Parent Information Night on December 8 and will have five more in the new year (listed below). In addition, our Link Crew will be presenting at our three middle schools during those respective weeks.

 

• January 27 at Paulding Middle School
• February 3 at Mesa Middle School
• February 10 at Santa Maria Public Library
• February 17 and February 24 will be virtual via Google Meet

 

If you know of someone who might be interested in having their child/student attend CCNTH, please have them visit our website for registration information as we are now accepting applications through February 25.

After coming out of distance and hybrid learning, our New Tech Network Fall 2021 Culture Data Survey results were very impressive. Our 9-12 graders took the survey in late September and the positivity rates are as follows: 

 

• Learning Environment, 98.6%,
• Learning Through PBL, 94.3%
• School Connectedness and Belonging, 81.4%
• School Processes and Practices, 76.7%
• Interactions with Students and Teachers, 90.1%
• College and Career 94.1%

 

Our Parent Forums are once a month. On December 15, our topic is “Parenting Your Struggling Teen with the Power of Mindsight” and January 26, our topic will be ”Knowing the Facts About Vaping, Drugs, Alcohol & Nicotine”.  Both of these presentations are open to all secondary schools in the district and via zoom.   

We have winter break and the New Year right around the corner; this is a time for celebrating the many student/staff accomplishments by entering into a short time of rest and rejuvenation. On behalf of the entire CCNTH staff, I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season. We look forward to 2022 and all of the joy it will bring. 

Go Direwolves!

Sarah Butler
