A huge, THANK YOU to our students, coaches, and families for your time, effort, and support. Congratulations to all!

NHS is hosting our spirit week for the last week of school before Christmas Break. See the attachment for JH and HS dress up days!

On Wednesday this past week, we took our seniors to SeaWorld for a Career Tour! Students got a behind the scenes look at the many careers that keep the park running and had the chance to see so many incredible animals up close including belugas, dolphins, penguins, sea lions, turtles, sharks, and more. They learned a lot, asked great questions, and walked away with an experience they won’t forget. Proud of our seniors for representing us so well!

We will have a send off for our State FFA girls today at 10 AM in front of the school. Come cheer them on!

Join us for our annual Christmas program. This cheerful event promises to bring laughter and joy to everyone! So bring your family and friends, and come celebrate the season with us.

🎄We want to thank the wonderful parent volunteers and teachers who spent many hours over the break making the halls extra festive for the students. Once again, you've made it special for all who walk through our doors.

Food Distribution: We will have a food distribution tomorrow, December 2nd, from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Please spread the word to anyone who may need it!

Here is our updated Week at a Glance!

We will also be having a send-off for our FFA LDE State Qualifiers on Thursday, December 4th at 10:00 AM in front of the school.

Come out, show your support, and help us cheer these girls on as they head to STATE! Let’s send them off with pride!

Please have your children sit with you during the games and remind them: no running in the foyer, no playing with balls inside, and please don’t play around in the bathrooms. When parents stay close, kids stay safe — and everyone can enjoy the game. Of course, we encourage the jr high and high school students to sit in the student section and cheer on our student athletes.
