Good afternoon NCHS Parents and Guardians,
Nelson County High School has updated its entry procedures for sporting events to include the use of metal detectors.
Indoor Events:
Spectators will enter through the main entrance of the middle school.
Outdoor Events:
Metal detectors will be set up near the original entrance for games.
Important Guidelines for Spectators:
Please refrain from bringing items that contain metal, such as vapes, pocket knives, small hand tools, and umbrellas (ponchos are encouraged).
Before passing through the metal detectors, spectators should remove their cellphones, wallets, and car keys.
Be mindful of items that could trigger the detector, and avoid bringing them to the games.
Spectators who do not comply with these guidelines may be asked to return items to their vehicles for entry. Those who refuse to comply may be asked to leave the event.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement these new security measures to ensure a safe environment for students, coaches, spectators, and officials. We look forward to seeing you at our games. The use of metal detectors will begin at the football scrimmage this Friday. Please review the video from Mr. Mullins. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Mullins at gmullins@nelson.k12.va.us.
Go Govs!

Good afternoon NCHS Parents and Guardians,
Nelson County High School will be hosting Open House for grades 10-12 tomorrow, August 7th, from 2-7pm. Families attending open house will need to enter through the middle entrance (between high and middle schools). Stations will be set up in the cafeteria for families to navigate through. Students are to be in the company of a guardian or parent to complete the required paperwork for each station. School spirit gear will be sold in the main hallway near the front office. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Go Govs!


Good evening NCHS Parents and Guardians,
Tomorrow, Nelson County High School will welcome the incoming freshman class, Wednesday, August 6th, with two sessions of Freshman Orientation: from 10 AM to 12 PM and 1 PM to 3 PM. A parent or guardian must accompany each student to complete necessary paperwork and pay student fees. During orientation, students will receive their class schedules, and parents will receive information on accessing the Student Portal in PowerSchool. Families and students will be given the opportunity to purchase athletic passes. Please see the fee schedule for the 2025-26 school year. Different payment options will be available for families.
Parents, guardians, and students should enter through the middle entrance between the middle and high schools to access the high school cafeteria. After completing the student information packet and submitting the required documents, families are welcome to visit teachers in their classrooms. If a teacher is located elsewhere, this information will be provided during check-in.
For families unable to attend tomorrow, they may attend Open House for grades 10-12 on Thursday, August 7th, from 2 PM to 7 PM.
We look forward to seeing our students and parents tomorrow!
