Philosophy

We believe that the opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student selected activities is a vital part of a student's educational experiences. Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to other students, to the community and to the athletes themselves. These experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to achieve maximum benefit from his or her education.

Nansemond River High School student activities are considered a supplement to the school's academic program which strives to provide experiences that will help to develop students physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
