Our 2026 Physics class and their custom Net-Zero House Models. These students have calculated the heat-loss rates of their designs and sized the appropriate HVAC systems. They have calculated the electrical loads required for comfortable living and the solar panels needed to supply those loads. Real-life learning, learning for life.

Mission Accomplished: Celebrating Our JROTC Cadets!
What an incredible evening for the Northumberland Middle/High School JROTC program!

The JROTC just wrapped up their annual awards ceremony, and "proud" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was truly inspiring to see our cadets recognized for their discipline, leadership, and hard work throughout the year. From academic excellence to superior physical fitness and community service, these students are proving that the future is in very capable hands.

To our cadets: Your uniforms looked sharp, but your character shone even brighter. Whether you took home a medal today or supported your fellow cadets from the ranks, your commitment to excellence is what makes this program great.

Thank you to our dedicated Instructors, SGT. Derrick Lemon and Major Francisco Gonzalez-Rodriguez for their mentorship, the parents and families who support these students every step of the way, and our local community for always standing behind our students.

Mr. Dickens' Chemistry class has been researching the nutrients used to make pet and fish food. Then, using local ingredients sourced from Omega Protein, Bay's Best Feed, and the VanLandingham Farm, they made tilapia food for Northumberland's Aquaculture program!

Chemistry students ground and sifted the grains, carefully measured and mixed the ingredients, cooked, pelletized, and dried the mash. Finally, the tilapia got to try the homemade food! Next year's Aquaculture and Chemistry classes will continue the project, which stresses the importance of using the abundant feedstocks right in our backyard!

We want to give a NHS Shout-Out to our incredible Metal Detector and Bag Check Team!
Let’s hear it for the real MVPs of the morning rush!

Every single morning, rain or shine, this dedicated group of teachers is the first line of welcome for our students. It’s not just about the scans and the bags; it’s about the smiles, the "good mornings," and the commitment to keeping Northumberland High School a safe place to learn and grow.

Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for being the friendly faces that transition our students from the bus to the classroom with care and professionalism. You make a difference before the first lesson even begins!

NHS teachers were challenged to take some time over spring break to relax and spend time with family and friends. They were asked to share a picture with their duck of what they did. Mrs. Jones and her family took a trip to Washington, DC, Mr. and Mrs. Baker spent time watching their son play baseball at EMU, Dr. Coto took her duck on a mid-day run and Mrs. Thomas watched the sunset in OBX.
