2022 NMH Just the Beginning

The classroom is just the

beginning.

Cocurricular and extracurricular activities

Make NMH your own.

Do you dance? Sing? Sink three-pointers? Are you a community-service kind of person? An aspiring photographer? An engineer in the making?

If so, you’ve come to the right place, because at NMH, we make sure students have room to pursue their passions.

And if you’re still looking for something that makes your heart soar, we’ve got you covered. The entire NMH experience is designed to help you discover and explore your interests, live up to your potential, and keep a healthy, down-to-earth balance.

COCURRICULAR AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

campus goes way beyond meeting the challenges of academic courses.

You’ll also have access to a wealth of cocurricular and extracurricular opportunities. Cocurriculars are required; students choose from an array of athletic teams, performingarts ensembles, community-service groups, and many other classes and activities. Extracurriculars are optional and include lots of clubs and organizations, most of which are created and run by students.

ATHLETICS

Fielding 65 teams in 20 interscholastic sports, Northfield Mount Hermon offers one of the broadest athletics programs in the nation. Our athletics program has something to offer every student, from the specialized athlete to the novice who wants to find their new passion. Last year we had 25 students matriculate and commit to compete in NCAA collegiate athletics, bringing the total to 75. The NMH athletics program helps students become the best version of themselves through education of the “head, heart, and hand.”
