Monday, Mr. Dickens' Aquaculture students went fishing at the Windmill Point Fishing Pier in hopes of adding to the lab aquariums. Pufferfish were in abundance; a few spot were landed, a lizardfish, a flounder, and a really nice bluefish! The pufferfish now reside in the lab; the flounder and spot were returned to the river. Many thanks to Math Teacher Rob Etzold for helping out!
All schools and district offices will be closed from Friday, September 4, 2026, to Monday, September 7, 2026, in observance of Labor Day. Classes and normal office hours will resume on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Enjoy a safe and restful long weekend!
Dear NCPS Community,
As we head into the new season, I want to share a quick update on how payments will be handled at Northumberland High School athletic events moving forward.
Beginning immediately, all payments, including admission and concessions, will be processed through GoFan only. We will no longer be able to accept cash or checks. This change helps us keep our gates moving, our lines shorter, and the process smooth for everyone involved. If you haven't used GoFan before, it's free to download and takes just a minute to set up before you arrive.
We appreciate your patience as we make this transition, and we're always happy to help at the gate if you have questions. Thank you for your continued support of our athletes.
Thank you,
Johnny Mothershead
