New Glarus High School uses a 6 period trimester schedule that provides students with additional time, especially in Math and English, to learn essential skills. This schedule also allows students the flexibility to take a wide range of elective classes.

Our P.B.I.S. program focuses on initiative, integrity, and perseverance. We aim to teach, model and use these character traits on a regular basis and to live our belief in true Knight Pride.
We are fortunate to have an active PTO in our community as well as other booster clubs that support our school and district initiatives. We welcome and value the strong parental involvement that is a part of NGHS.
