Information about Early Exams

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.
