NEO families love our commitment to well-rounded education. Beyond the classroom, our students are engaged in a wide variety of extracurricular activities such as Competitive Sports, Field Trips, Clubs & Organizations, and Free After School Tutoring. Visit our Activities page for more information.

Ohio’s new College Credit Plus can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from colleges and/or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a College Credit Plus course from a public college or university is free, which means no cost for tuition, books, or fees. If you choose to attend a private college or university, you may have limited costs.

Your high school may have an agreement with a local college for specific courses; however, you can choose to take College Credit Plus courses that would benefit your future from any college. This includes online courses.
