At Nathan Hale we have secure building expectations. This means when you’d like to enter the building after common transition times, you approach either the main office, east, or attendance office entrances. These are the monitored entrances. Have your Hale ID ready to show the camera to get buzzed in. If you don’t have your Hale ID, please come to the main office to get one printed. Reminder: we don’t open the doors for others—they need to use the buzzer to be let into the building.

If you would like to put a flyer or a poster up around the school, it needs to be posted in a designated location (bulletin boards or carpeted walls) and it needs to be approved by NHHS admin. Please submit your flyer/poster to Ms. Burrell by dropping it/them off at the main office or emailing her directly. Any poster/flyer that does not have approval and/or that is not posted in one of the approved areas will be removed. If you would like to remove any poster that you have up in a non-designated area, please remove it immediately. We currently have painters at Hale, so the signage that does not meet these requirements are being removed as we go. If you have any questions, please talk to administration.

The PAC Foyer is CLOSED at all times – including LUNCH. Students have left a mess dropping their food and leaving their garbage. Since students have not respected the house, this area will remain closed.
