3.) All drivers will need to drive SLOWLY on campus as there are some icy spots near the front of the school and on the exit bound side of the driveway. When exiting campus, stay in the left lane. DO NOT TRAVEL IN THE RIGHT LANE. School staff will be present to help with unloading of car riders to avoid any slick spots. Everyone will need to enter and exit the building through the front doors only.
Stay warm and safe and we look forward to seeing everyone in-person tomorrow!
Please congratulate the following students on working hard to place NLHS in third place for the Western region of the NCASA Art showcase. These students had to create an artwork based on the prompt, "Declaration of Independence." They worked independently, outside of class, over winter break to create a cohesive portfolio of 9 artworks for our school. We had one artwork for each category; drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media, collage, digital drawing, sculpture, and animation. These students' dedication and passion to complete the project is outstanding.
The portfolio will move onto the state competition at David McCune International Gallery on the campus of Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC on February 7th. The top scores will be on display throughout the month of February.
Photography - Grace H. - Top score for the category.
Drawing - Katie S.
Mixed media - Dakota M.
Printmaking - Gabrielle H.
Painting - Anna S.
Digital Drawing - Mya N.
Sculpture - Isabella M.
Collage - Georgia V.
Animation - Bailee M. (not shown due to file size)

North Lincoln High Curriculum Night - Rescheduled for Wednesday, February 4th from 5:30-7PM. We look forward to seeing you then!
Good Evening,
Tomorrow (Wednesday, January 28th) will be a Remote Learning Day. Similar to today, here is some important information to help you through your day:
1.) Students will follow the same instructions by their teachers as they did today on how to complete activities, receive instruction, ask for assistance, etc.
2.) All school staff will be available for support between 8AM-3PM. They can be accessible through the communication tools shared by them and through email.
3.) For Gaston students: Check out Gaston.edu for updated information on classes taking place. We have not heard officially if in-person classes will be taking place.
4.) **Curriculum Night has been rescheduled for Wednesday, February 4th from 5:30-7:00PM. We look forward to having you as we prepare for the 2026-2027 School Year!
On a Remote Learning Day, students are expected to fully engage in all assigned instructional tasks, as these assignments are subject to grading and assessment, just like in-person work. Any work assigned during remote learning must be completed and submitted within five school days of returning to face-to-face instruction. Teachers will provide this five-day window to ensure students have adequate time to complete and turn in their assignments, and students are responsible for meeting these deadlines to receive full credit.
If you have any questions, reach out to your teachers or school administration for more information.
Thank you!
NLHS Administration

School counselors will thoughtfully pair mentors and mentees, matching students based on shared interests identified
through a brief survey.
Mentors and mentees will meet once per week for 30 minutes during Enrichment Block.
Meetings will take place consistently each week, as consistency is essential for building trust and connection.
If a mentor has any concerns about a mentee’s safety or well-being, they are required to immediately contact a school counselor. Counselors remain actively involved in overseeing the program and supporting both mentors and mentees.
