With scheduling season upon us, the Scheduling and Elective Transition Fair is a great time to learn about the scheduling process and all of the amazing opportunities for incoming freshmen and sophomores at North Allegheny. 

Both sessions will provide you the opportunity to learn more about NAI and the scheduling process from the administrators, school counselors, and Student Assistance/IMPACT Coordinator.

After the evening information session, attendees will be encouraged to go through Tiger Hall to explore the elective options. From JROTC to Electronic Music, all teachers and student representatives of the elective courses at NAI will be present to provide information and answer any questions you may have. Representatives from A.W. Beattie Career Center will also be available to help you explore options and plan your future.

There will be many more opportunities to learn about NAI, but it is never too early to get acclimated to high school. We look forward to seeing you!
