We would like to recognize our top senior of the Class of 2024, our Valedictorian. Gigi Safavizadeh will attend Bryn Mawr College in the fall and is interested in majoring in International Affairs or History and minoring in Dance. She was in the NHS musicals, choreographed the NMS musicals, and was in concert band and orchestra, choir, jazz band, chamber orchestra, madrigal choir, AND participated in several all counties and NYSSMA solo festivals. She is also a member of the National Honors Society and is thrilled with being the class of 2024’s valedictorian! Her favorite memories are the countless hours spent in Mr. Bernstein’s class. As a group of just five honors students, she will miss the connections she made with classmates and the endless laughter shared together.

NCSD is thrilled to introduce our new School Resource Officer, Nick Mooney. Officer Mooney joined NCSD in April and commenced training with our School Safety Officer, Wes Mills, alongside Officer Brandon Clarke. Officer Clarke, who has served as our School Resource Officer, will be retiring at the end of April. The entire NCSD community extends its heartfelt gratitude to Officer Clarke for his dedicated service to our organization.
Officer Mooney is a Norwich native and a graduate of NCSD. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Nazareth College in Rochester, NY. Following graduation, Officer Mooney returned to Norwich and assumed the role of Aquatics Director at the YMCA before joining the City of Norwich Police Department in 2020. He holds certification as a Child Forensic Interviewer and eagerly anticipates advancing his training as a Juvenile Officer/School Resource Officer in August.
When asked about choosing Norwich, Officer Mooney expressed that he has always enjoyed living in Norwich. With most of his family residing here, he believes it is an ideal place to raise a family. He is passionate about working with children and views this role as an opportunity to positively influence students’ lives. In addition, Officer Mooney is committed to enhancing safety protocols and emergency response plans.
Regarding the School Resource Officer’s relationship with the school and community, Officer Mooney emphasized, “I am a firm believer that being involved in your community is a great way to grow up. Luckily, Norwich boasts a lot of different options when it comes to community engagement. I plan on reaching out to the school’s clubs and sports teams to support the students in their interests.”
Officer Mooney eagerly anticipates connecting with our students. “I want to build positive relationships and demonstrate the importance of integrity. I believe that through support and guidance it will help kids promote positive behavior and facilitate a good school experience.”
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Officer Mooney.
