In the hallway she hands the other members of the team a copy of sample questions for the competition. Nancy, along with the rest of the team, later goes to Kathleen's house to watch a tape of Quest for the Best to check out their competition, the Lieberman High School team, for the following day.

In Censored, Nancy is seen as the editor for the Degrassi Digest school newspaper. Caitlin announces to Nancy that she wants to do her article on Christine Nelson being kicked out of school, Nancy doesn't really care as long as it's in on time and two hundred words, even though she admits it's a touchy subject. The next day, Nancy is with the other members of the Digest team when Caitlin hands in her article, only for Mr. Raditch to say that it cannot be published. Later on, Nancy asks Caitlin what she's writing for the next issue of the Digest. Caitlin is surprised that Nancy is allowing Caitlin to stay on the writing staff, and Nancy says that her article was well-written and requests for her next article to be less controversial. When Caitlin suggests she write about sexism, Nancy looks apprehensive but reminds Caitlin that the article just needs to be two hundred words.
In Pass Tense, she and her classmates were faced with the stress and pressure of the end of the year final exams. After Mr. Raditch's English exam, Nancy was standing at the lockers with B.L.T. and Michelle discussing the exam. Wheels approaches and overhears Nancy explaining one of the answers to B.L.T. and realizes he got the question wrong. Michelle asks Nancy about another question, and B.L.T. and Wheels both realize they got that question wrong as well.
Later that afternoon when Snake and Wheels were trying to find where Joey was and ask Nancy and Michelle if they had seen him anywhere. Nancy tells them that the word around the school was that Joey failed the year. She said it was pretty obvious since his name wasn't on the graduation list and because Joey wasn't the best student in the world.
She is later seen at the graduation dance, and enjoys the music of The Zit Remedy.
