CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. O'Rourke who received the $500 TaxSlayer Champions of the Classroom grant! Kayla Vanderlann and Katie Cox from the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and TaxSlayer Representative, Dana Zefting were on hand to surprise Dr. O'Rourke with this honor. According to Dr. O'Rourke, receiving the TaxSlayer Champions of the Classroom grant is a meaningful honor that directly strengthens hands-on learning opportunities in her classroom. This grant will be used to purchase essential tools and a dedicated monitor for our Tech Crew, allowing students to more effectively diagnose, repair, and configure computer hardware while working in real-world, team-based scenarios. Additional materials will support both the computer repair and marketing pathways, giving students access to updated equipment, supplies, and resources that mirror industry standards. These investments will not only enhance technical skill development, but also reinforce problem-solving, communication, and professional readiness—helping students gain practical experience that prepares them for postsecondary education and the modern workforce. WAY TO GO DR. O'ROURKE! #nahsyellowjackets

North Augusta High School students joined over 1,000 of the state’s brightest emerging leaders in North Charleston for the 2026 South Carolina FBLA State Leadership Conference on March 22-25.
This year, we focused on innovation, integrity, and influence. FBLA members competed in objective tests, presentations, attended workshops, or run for state offices, and SLC 2026 provided a perfect platform to showcase how South Carolina’s student leaders are ready to bridge the gap between today’s classrooms and tomorrow’s boardrooms or anywhere excellence, perseverance, and hard work is needed.
Thank you for supporting our students as they participated in activities beyond the NAHS classroom. Being able to test their knowledge and performance skills in a competitive environment, added relevance and excitement to what they have learned in the classroom. Most importantly, each competitor was equipped with a personal and powerful sense of accomplishment they will never forget.

NAHS had 5 students compete in the High School Battle of the Books competition. Although we did not bring home bragging rights this year, we are so proud of these kids and their commitment to reading so many books to prepare to compete! It is wonderful to see high school students still have a passion for reading!
