MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, KEITH JOHNSON

Nekoosa High School Principal Keith Johnson

We live in a world that is rapidly changing. The mission of our school is to empower and prepare students to be successful in our global community. To do this, we offer a range of courses to give students a solid foundation for their future, and at the same time, focus on building relationships between students, staff, and their families. Each student has hopes and dreams for their future and the staff at Nekoosa High School works to prepare them with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to achieve those dreams.

To help all students realize their dreams, Nekoosa High School staff works to build partnerships with families, businesses, and the community. If you are interested in being a part of these ongoing efforts, please contact me to discuss how we can work together to empower and prepare students to succeed in our global community. Thank you.

ACADEMICS
English.  •   Social Studies. •  Art  •   Band & Choir  •   Physical Education  •   Family and Consumer Sciences  •   Mathematics  •   Science  •   Spanish  •   Business  •  Technology & Engineering

ACADEMICS AND CAREER PLANS/ADVISORY:  CONNECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO SUCCESS
Every student at Nekoosa High School works with a teacher who is his/her advisor from the first day of freshman year to graduation day. The advisor also works closely with the student's family to help each student successfully navigate through high school from course selection to keeping grades up and assisting students with developing self-advocacy and conflict resolution skills. A student's advisor is there to help them learn, grow, and develop for the
next stage of their life.

As part of advisory each student has an "Academic and Career Plan" (ACP) to help students set goals for their future and ensure that they are maximizing their high school years. As part of an ACP students do interest inventories, job shadows, select high school courses, etc..

ONLINE COURSES
In addition to offering a variety of courses in our school we also offer students the opportunity to take a wide range of online classes. These classes help us to expand the course offerings available to our students.

AP AND TRANSCRIPTED COURSES
We offer a wide range of AP and transcripted courses (transcripted courses are courses that students take at NHS for credit at Mid-State Technical College). These credits can then transfer to almost any college or university. AP courses range from calculus, statistics, and biology to 2D and 3D art, literature, psychology, and U.S. government and politics. Transcripted courses range from college algebra and oral communication to welding, marketing, and introduction to Microsoft.

BEYOND THE BOOK
Success in today's world requires communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills, too. Students will work together collaboratively with their peers (building communication skills and learning how to resolve conflict) and be asked to think critically and go beyond simply knowing the "right" answer, so that they become great problem solvers, too.

LEARNING IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM
Learning does not stop in the classroom door. Some of the most important things we learn we don't get in a classroom. Our staff works to get students out of the classroom and into the community. We do this through traditional field trips but also through community projects, job shadowing, Youth Apprenticeships, work experience, and internships.

ATHLETICS AND ACTIVITIES
Baseball  •  Football  •  Softball  •  Educators Rising (Future Educators)  •  Basketball  •  Golf  •  Track & Field  •  Family, Career & Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)  •  Chess  •  Powerlifting  •  Volleyball  •  Future Business Leaders of America  •  (FBLA)  •  Cross Country  •  Soccer  •  Wrestling  •  Future Health Professionals (HOSA)  •  Student Council


OUR VISION

NHS is a student-centered community that empowers all by nurturing diversity and embracing challenges to continuously develop and enhance our positive learning environment.



OUR MISSION

At Nekoosa High School the goal of a high school education is not a high school diploma. The goal of a high school education is to have students prepared for the next stage of their life- whether that be a university, technical college, the military, or pursuing a career. As a result of this belief we focus on working with students and their families to help them
explore their interests and make decisions for life after high school. Their high school diploma is an important milestone on the road to a successful life.
