Inside Athletics
Excellence is achieved through purposeful preparation, extraordinary effort and a positive mental attitude.
This is what NMH is all about. The pursuit of excellence in everything we do. Every student here — throughout 67 interscholastic teams, 19 varsity sports, and an extensive outdoor program — is encouraged to think of athletics as an opportunity to gain the habits for a lifetime of excellence in whatever they pursue. It is about a commitment to a team and a search for continual improvement.
Our students are more than just skilled athletes. They become great leaders in the classroom, the dorm, the arts, and beyond.
NMH offers one of the broadest high school athletics programs in the country, and our College-Model Academic Program (CMAP) gives students the time to participate in sports without sacrificing their studies or pursuing other passions. They learn all kinds of valuable lessons about sportsmanship and leadership that they can apply to other areas of life at NMH.
