Principal's Weekly Update - Dec 19, 2025

Good Afternoon NVTHS families,

It has been a heartwarming and high-energy week here at Nashoba Tech! Our Extracurricular Club Student Representatives have been busy sponsoring holiday tables and activities designed to spread cheer throughout our school community.

From the creativity shown in our door decorating contest to the excitement of our dodgeball competition and the "Tape the Teacher to the Wall" event, the school spirit has been incredible. A special highlight was our "HolidayGram" activity; it was a joy to see so many students taking time during lunch to write thoughtful notes of appreciation to our dedicated staff, truly embodying the spirit of the season.

Please note that there will be no late buses on Tuesday, December 23rd. Please plan accordingly for student pick-up if your child usually stays for after-school activities.

This week's Friday Shout Out! HERE

I wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead!

Jeremy Slotnick, Principal

17 students and 3 adults enjoyed a beautiful winter evening this past Tuesday night..  After a quick stop at Nashoba Pizza to fuel up, the group went to Bancroft Castle in Groton (behind the Gibbet Hill Restaurant).  They took in an amazing sunset and explored the ruins of the castle.  Then, the group went to Bertozzi Wildlife Preservation.  They walked about a mile, in the dark, to the banks of the Squannacook River to enjoy a campfire, s'mores and the company of old and new friends.
