- Quarterly recognition of each student who earns a 3.5 GPA or better
- Supporting Academic Competitive Excellence Squad (ACES)
- Awarding college scholarships to graduating NRHS seniors (must be an ARC donor to qualify)
- Hosting and presenting the NRHS Hall of Fame
- Hosting the Honors Assembly in May 2017, to recognize students who have maintained a 3.5 or greater GPA for the first three quarters of the academic year with a Varsity Letter in academics
