Our Mission: To support our students in a college environment with personal, academic, and social skills. Our Vision: Every student college ready. Our Core Values: Own It, Be Committed, Continuous Improvement Unique to the state of Nevada, Nevada State High School (NSHS) is a public charter school with dual purpose. At this state-funded early college charter school, high school juniors and seniors take real college courses with real professors on real college and university campuses in Nevada. These courses count for both high school and college credit, making it possible for our students to earn their high school diplomas while getting a head start on their college degrees. The best part about it? Attending NSHS is absolutely free. We pay for your tuition and fees, plus a stipend for textbooks. At NSHS, you will not only attend college courses, but also learn how to excel in them and in your career. With a focus on career and college readiness, we are preparing our students for the future. After 14 years of helping more than 1,500 graduates attend and succeed in college, we are proud to be accomplishing our vision to lead the state of Nevada in transitioning students to college — and our work in college readiness doesn’t go unrecognized. NSHS has received five Exemplary AYP designations from the State of Nevada, was rated a five-star school, and was acknowledged by U.S. News & World Report as a Bronze recipient for America’s Best High Schools and a Silver recipient for Most Connected Classrooms.
