Dear NHS Community,
8th Grade Graduation
We are pleased to announce the date for 8th Grade Graduation. We are planning on an outdoor graduation ceremony again with a date of June 15th and a raindate of June 16th. In the event of rain on both days, we will move the ceremony indoors. We were pleased with the outdoor graduation last year and plan to continue it. The last day of school (barring any more snow days is June 17, 2022.)
NHS Kindergarten Registration for 2022-2023 is Open
If you know of any family with a kindergarten student for next year, please have them contact Sue MacLaughlin in the main office. We are now accepting enrollments for next school year!
