Future Kim Mugaisi ’21 I transferred to NSA when I was in the 10th grade. I am currently starting my third year here, and there is no other place I would like to be. NSA has instilled in me many values, including integrity, responsibility and authenticity. I am grateful for my experience at NSA, because it has provided me with new experiences, like field hockey, and the opportunity to make lifelong memories and friendships. I am thankful and appreciative of the donors who have made gifts to support me during my educational journey, because their donations have allowed me to have a better education.

Abby Rich ’21 NSA has provided an incredible experience for me as I have grown academically, socially and emotionally these last four years. The school has offered an incredible number of opportunities, such as being involved in Student Council, sports teams, clubs, an internship and high-quality academic classes. I found my community here and feel like I am a part of something larger than myself. The support of donors opens opportunities for students like me to excel in academics and in life experiences. High school is a time to try new things. The safe environment at NSA allows for successes and failures, which in turn has allowed me to identify my passions.

Justice Walters ’21 Nansemond-Suffolk Academy is an amazing community. I was immediately embraced by a family of friends and have made wonderful memories. As I have grown, I have learned more about the generous donors who have allowed me to have the best high school experience. Although I will be going to college shortly, I am grateful for everything I have benefited from, and it has undoubtedly led to my success. I would not be nearly as confident going into the future if it wasn’t for NSA.
