From free tutoring to test preparation to classes that guide students on the path to college and beyond, Nevada State High School (NSHS) provides students with a variety of supports. Learn more about what we offer.
NSHS Courses: Introduction to College, Study Skills, Transitions, and COMPASS
These courses help students with the transition from high school to college. Students’ classes at NSHS are designed to make sure they stay on track throughout their time as dual-credit enrollees.
On-Site Tutoring and Office Hours
NSHS provides tutoring for students who need extra help with their classes, and as college students, NSHS students have access to free tutoring at the colleges, too. NSHS locations also have open office hours for students who want to meet with staff and administrators. Students at NSHS aren’t just a number — they frequently meet one-on-one with staff!
ACT® Test and WorkKeys® Assessments Preparation
NSHS offers students test preparation to help them score well on two important tests:
Student Success Advocates (SSAs)
These student workers are NSHS students who have excelled in our program, earning Gold WorkKeys scores or above and achieving high academic marks. SSAs are responsible for leading “Sessions 4 Success” that teach their peers about how to manage their time and prioritize, how to dress for success, and more.
College and Career Planning Assistance
NSHS supports students through the college planning process, guiding them through the creation of both a high school and a college academic plan. We work to help students realize their career goals and determine the best way to reach them.
Financial Planning Workshops
Each year, NSHS partners with Thrivent Financial to host college financial planning workshops for students and their families. These workshops provide tips about the FAFSA and its importance, advice for improving the odds of graduating in four years, and much more.
