 I'm Alana Daly, senior at NTSSM Durham. I'm from Cary, North Carolina, and today I'm gonna show you around campus. Let's go. NTSSM is the number one public high school in North Carolina, according to niche.com. Here in Durham, the residential enrollment is around 680 students, made up of academically talented juniors and seniors who live and learn on campus in our close knit community. Students come here from every corner of the state, and there is no cost for tuition, meals, housing, or textbooks. Our campus is located in Durham, which makes up one part of the research triangle, along with nearby Raleigh and Chapel Hill. We'll start our tour in Bryan Lobby, the main entry point for visitors to our campus. We host events in this space, and just on the hall is the front desk where parents can pick up and drop off our students. From here we move into Reynolds Breezeway, which connects most of the main buildings on campus. At NTSSM, academics is our top priority. We offer unique and challenging courses that you wouldn't find at your normal high school. Our instructors are top notch, each with a master's or PhD in their field. The student to teacher ratio is low, so we get plenty of personal attention. While we're known for our STEM programs, our humanities courses are also incredibly strong and diverse. The Fine Arts Program offers opportunities for music, visual arts, and drama. We have soundproof practice rooms, as well as a huge auditorium for concerts, theater performances, and cultural festivals. Our engineering and computer science program offers a wide array of classes, and we even have a fabrication lab to complete academic projects or just for fun. It has top of the line equipment, 3D printers, and anything students need to complete projects. Students can also venture into off-campus mentorship and research, especially with local universities. For real world, hands-on learning experiences. Our diverse independent research programs, covering subjects from biology to humanities, enhance our education and offer opportunities to present at conferences and win awards. Next up is our library. It has spaces for individual studying and group meetings. Another great study and hangout spot is in the student center and Woolworth room, home to the same bar at Woolworth's luncheonette, where the sit-ins happened. Here we also have games, ping pong, and lots of other activities. Fun, I'm Maddie Gordon, a senior here at NCSSM Durham. I'm originally from Morseville, North Carolina, and I'm so excited to show you're on campus today. At NCSSM, we offer every student a safe, secure, and welcoming home on campus. All residential students live in the dorms, and each hall has about 30 students. Here in Durham, there are six dorms total. Four for girls and two for boys. Most rooms are double occupancy, but there are also some triple occupancy rooms, that's what I live in, and a few single rooms for seniors. Many of our residential halls are undergoing renovations, so we also have temporary modular housing. Each hall has a designated adult called a community coordinator. Your hall really does become like your family, and each hall forms its own unique community. We do hall-based activities and outings, and have various competitions with other halls. Each hall has a lounge where we can gather to watch a movie, play video games, or just talk. Meals are provided at NCSSM Durham, in our newly renovated dining hall, and they cater to all kinds of specialized diets. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays, and brunch and dinner on the weekends. When the weather is nice, we eat outdoors, and hang out on the senior benches, in the gazebo, or on the swings. Campus safety and wellness are top priorities at NCSSM. We have an onsite security team, and we use the LiveSafe app if we're leaving campus, so that someone always knows where we are. We have an onsite health clinic, and we have counselors who support students as they adjust to life at NCSSM, along with personal growth, academics, and the transition to college. What's up, everyone? My name is Jared Singarty, and I'm a senior here at the North Carolina School of Science and Math. I'm originally from Morrisville, North Carolina, and I'm super excited to show you my school. At NCSSM Durham, there are a ton of options for physical wellness and athletics. Here in the PEC, we have workout facilities, open gym hours, and more to help students stay healthy and burn off stress. We offer 21 varsity sports, plus we have lots of intramural sports and clubs. Here at Durham, unless you're participating in a varsity sport, each student is required to take at least one physical activity class, such as disc golf. Aside from school, I like to be in the PEC to weight lift. In addition to athletics, we have so many fun activities and traditions. There are dozens of clubs, from art to robotics to culture clubs, and any student can start their own club and help shape the school culture. Every evening, we have a social gathering we call a happy have, where we just relax and hang out with friends. Plus, there is always some kind of special event happening on campus, like movie night or open mic night. We also have a ton of fun around Durham with restaurants and shops, just a five minute walk from campus, plus van loops that drive us to attractions around the area. At NCSSM, we also have a long tradition of contributing to our communities. All students do campus and community service activities, and seniors have the chance to serve in leadership positions. For example, as my campus service, I serve as an admissions ambassador and give tours to prospective students and their families. I really love my school and it's been great showing you around.
