PTO Membership
The PTO hopes you are off to a wonderful 2025-2026 school year. We invite you to join the PTO this year. The goals for this year will include purchasing technology items (10 more Newline Interactive Smart TVs for classrooms, main lobby and the cafeteria), changing out 4 more of the water fountains to be fountains plus water refillable bottle stations, as well as loving on the staff with meals or a little treat every month. We have A LOT we would like to accomplish and need YOUR help! Follow this link to sign up today!
What else does the PTO do at NLHS? The PTO hosts breakfast and lunches regularly for the staff, provides breakfast for the seniors during graduation rehearsal and snacks on free college application day, works with departments to fulfill classroom wish lists, and creates staff care packages that include the staff at the School of Technology and Asbury Academy.
There are many ways to help the Knights PTO. Join our team! Your membership fee helps promote a school environment where the staff can do their best work and students can do their best learning, allows you to vote at general meetings, gives you a partnership with the school, and you can participate in hospitality that shows our staff how much we appreciate them.
Your child could also receive a $500 scholarship by you being a member of the PTO! Each year that membership dues are paid, your student’s name is entered into a drawing of their senior year for a chance to win one of two $500 Scholarships.

Important Transportation Update for NLHS
Beginning on Monday, September 15th and continuing for the remainder of the year, we are combining bus 93 and bus 296 morning routes. Students who ride bus 93 will be picked up 10-15 minutes earlier than usual and students who rode bus 296 in the morning will be picked up 5-10 minutes later than usual by bus 93. This is for the morning route only. Students who rode bus 296 in the morning and afternoon will continue to ride bus 296 in the afternoon.
Bus 97 and Bus 89 will have new bus drivers who will be learning their new routes in addition to several sub bus drivers who will be driving this week. It is advised that students are to be out and standing at their stops at least 10 minutes earlier than their normal time so that drivers don't accidently miss them. Please be patient as our drivers adjust to their new routes.
Please reach out to Mr. Volk if you have any questions.
