You can if you qualify for early spring exams!
NHS is piloting a new Early Exam privilege for 9th-11th grade students this year! By meeting certain attendance and course grade requirements, students can earn the privilege of taking their spring semester exams May 21st-23rd instead of May 27th-29th!
Requirements:
An "A" average in the class and 6 or fewer absences for the entire school year.
A "B" average in the class and 4 or fewer absences for the entire school year.
A "C" average in the class and 2 or fewer absences for the entire school year.
ADDITIONAL INFO…
ALL non-school related absences, both excused and unexcused, will count towards the student’s absence total. School functions and school-related absences will not count toward the student’s total absences.
Early Exams will only be available in May 2025 and will be determined on a class-by-class basis, meaning students may qualify for early exams in some classes, but not in others.
For classes that are only one semester, grade requirements will be the same, but the attendance requirement will be halved (3 absences with an “A” average; 2 absences with a “B” average; and 1 absence with a “C” average.
