It's been great this year to bring back Club Days! Students and staff enjoy this time to connect over similar interests. Here are highlights of the Asian Culture Club delighting in snacks from the continent.
This week's Teacher Spotlight is on Coach Todd Setzer. Coach Setzer teaches PE and Health for grades 6-8. He was born and raised in Hickory. He graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne University with a degree in physical education and health. He has been teaching for 25 years. He resides in Hickory with his wife, Christel, daughter Kendall, and two Golden Doodles, Aspen and Buckle. In his free time, he enjoys anything to do with sports, loves being outdoors, traveling to the beach, mountains, and especially cruises out of the country to St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Coach Setzer likes working in the yard, and overall just loves working hard and the satisfaction it brings. He is very proud of his football team this year and is looking forward to coaching baseball in the Spring and having things back to normal, as much as possible. Thank you, Coach, for all you do for our school and students! Go Red Devils!

I have loved getting to know the students this year. They are a wonderful group of students and I will miss them! The last 5 1/2 years working at NCMS has been such a joy and I am so glad I had the opportunity to finish the last years of my teaching career in the Newton-Conover School system. I was fortunate to learn from many
exceptional teachers at Newton-Conover from Kindergarten through twelfth grade and even during the last 5 1/2 years here at N-C. I am, and will forever be a lifelong and loyal RED DEVIL! Go Big RED!
Congratulations, Mrs. Ingle, on your upcoming retirement! You will be greatly missed by your students, colleagues, and administrators!
