Students show hands on who would like to change from iPads to computers.

    The series of AL town hall meetings began around last October when the school decided to give students a chance to directly share their concerns with the administration. The meetings consist of the NHS administration talking to students about issues that they have with the school and what the school should improve on.

    This was the first meeting of the year, and though it wasn’t made official, the administration will most likely have another meeting next semester, like they did last year. The students shared their concerns about starting school later and switching from iPads to Computers and the principal and administration then talked about how they could make this possible.

    Sophomore Daniel Schubert was one of the students that showed up to the town hall meeting on Nov. 10. His main focus consisted of making school later.

    “I wake up every morning at 5:30 a.m. so I can get on the bus at 6:15 a.m,” Schubert said, “It’d be nice if we could start school around 8:35 because I know most teenagers don’t go to bed until 11 or 12.”

    The administration addressed Schubert and the other students about their plans to change the times until parents’ concerns got in the way.

    The administration also talked in depth about iPad restrictions: why the iPads have restrictions, and even about taking the restrictions off in a year or so.
