CRISIS TEAM

Unfortunately, throughout the school year students and/or staff may experience a crisis.  The students and/or staff may need emotional support to deal with this crisis.  Individually this support is provided appropriately by the SPS Department.  As the affected individuals exceed the capabilities of SPS, the Crisis Team is activated.  A very dedicated group of NCHS professionals freely volunteer their willingness to provide this support.  Should an emergency occur, the school principal should be notified (call 630-420-6422).  He will then convene the Crisis Team.

Naviance

Naviance is a unique tool available to all NCHS students to use for managing their college searches, summer programs, and scholarships.  Eventually, all NCHS students will be registered for using Naviance.
