Northumberland Regional High School (NRHS) is a Canadian secondary school located in Alma, Nova Scotia.
Students that attend the school come from the western part of Pictou County, including the towns of Stellarton, and Westville.
Northumberland Regional officially opened on November 25, 2004. It is one of three high schools of Pictou County, Nova Scotia (the other being North Nova Education Centre and Pictou Academy). It replaced West Pictou District High School, Stellarton High School, and Westville High School. NRHS has approximately 991 students from grades 9-12. Its student body is drawn from three schools Highland Consolidated Middle School and West Pictou Consolidated School.
NRHS offers a wide variety of courses to its student body, with about 130 courses (excluding grade 9 and OPP courses). These courses include math (essentials-, foundations-, academic-, and advanced-level; this includes calculus), sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, etc.), languages (English and French), fine arts and technology (drama, visual arts, film and video, communications technology, etc.), and phys ed (mostly introduced in 2008; phys ed yoga, phys ed leadership). Also, NRHS has the Career and Employment Preparation (CEP) which offers courses to introduce students directly to industries such as food services, auto care, forestry, and retail; although this program is considered an alternative to academic courses, many students that complete the program go to university. NRHS primarily focuses on math and sciences over fine arts.
