This morning, our 8th graders shared plenty of laughs and smiles as they opened letters they wrote to their future selves back in 7th grade! They also had a blast checking off their summer bucket list adventures. What a fun way to reflect and celebrate their growth!
Family Consumer Science Teacher, Mrs. Schmitt, nominated Phil Zwanziger (former manager) from The Pub at The Pincion in New Hampton for the Education Partnership Award. Mrs. Schmitt accepted the award in June at the Iowa Family Consumer Science Educators (IFCSE) conference; on Zwanziger's behalf. Schmitt presented the award right before school started to Zwanziger.
"My second year at NHHS the new cafeteria was not ready until October. They continued using the old cafeteria and I was teaching off of a cart at the back of the room. I wanted to get my students out into the community and into real-world experiences. Everyday we got on a bus and went to The Pub."
Schmitt nominated Phil because he was always so generous with his time and experience and allowed the students to come and do prep work at The Pincion. Hands-on-learning is the best way to learn restaurant standards. Mrs. Schmitt said, "Thank you, Phil, for being a partner in education!"

High School Parents: the main way we get high school guidance office information to parents is via email. This type of information would be things like what your child can be doing to best prepare for their future at this point in their life, ACT test dates, special job-shadow-type events, volunteer opportunities, college class deadlines, Dollars for Scholars information and for seniors/senior parents, scholarships. If you were on the list and received emails last year from the guidance office, that will continue unless you tell us you want to be removed. For any freshman parents, parents of students new to NHCSD or if you just hadn't signed up last year but would like to, please fill out this form and we will get you added: Guidance Office Info 25-26
