Military Families

Welcome to Niceville High School. We are committed to providing critical transitional support for military-connected students as they relocate to our school due to a parent's change in duty station. Our focus is to eliminate barriers to the academic success of military-connected students. We are here to assist and support the military family lifestyle in such areas as school transitions, frequent moves, deployment, and education inconsistencies that exist from state to state, along with many others.

Eagle Military Team (EMT) Student Transition Leadership Program

Our Student Leadership Transition Program is called "E.M.T." (Eagle Military Team). Overseen by administration, the program is led by a current junior in our AFJROTC program and assisted by leadership students. This student is selected for their relationship and leadership skills. The fact they are a junior allows for continuity moving into next school year along with an opportunity to for future cadets to shadow. Our registrar is to inform administration when a military family enrolls. We then set up the school tour through leadership. The Cadet meets with the student periodically as the student transitions into NHS.

Professional Development

Niceville High School staff receive professional development concerning how to identify and respond to the needs of military students and their families.
