General
It is officially Homecoming Week at NHS! Our theme this year is Disneyland, The Happiest Homecoming on Earth!
How does a trip to Disneyland sound? Amazing? I thought so! Every day you dress up earns you a raffle ticket and a chance to win a free Disneyland Ticket! Daily prizes will be given and the drawing for the Disneyland Ticket will be done at the Homecoming Rally! Come to the quad every day at lunch to get your ticket.
Today is pajama day! Tomorrow is day two of Homecoming week and we are twinning up like Chip and Dale!
The library will close at 12:00 on Wednesday, October 8, and will not reopen until Thursday morning.
Reminder: All students driving to school must have a parking permit! Tickets are being distributed to unpermitted cars and cars parked in non-student parking areas.
