Attention Seniors: The 2022 Senior Banquet will be here before we know it!  It will take place on the Gateway Clipper. This is a semi-formal event that includes a dinner cruise and dancing as well as a Banquet Ceremony to award this year’s Senior Superlatives. This is not a couple’s event. Each senior will need to purchase their own ticket. This event, which celebrates our NA seniors’ journey, will be held on Friday, May 27th, the last official school day for seniors.  Transportation to and from the event will be provided.

Due to the Prom and Senior Banquet being so close together this year, ticket sales for these events will be broken up. Senior Banquet Tickets will be sold at an “Early Bird” reduced rate of $75 next week, January 10th – 13th. Checks of $75 should be made payable to NASH with your name on the memo line.  The tickets will be sold after school on Monday, January 10th and Wednesday, January 12th.  They will be sold before school on Tuesday, January 11th and Thursday, January 13th.  Please note: Tickets will also be on sale closer to the event, in the Spring, for an additional $10 ($85/ticket) as well.  Tickets can be purchased in the auditorium foyer by check only.  Look for an email from Dr. Dirda that was sent on January 3rd for all the important information regarding ticket sales.

Do you have any videos from the homecoming parade or dance, football games, after school activities, marching band, or any other event — big or small — from this school year?  Two seniors are creating a short film to honor the NASH student body to be presented at the end of the year, but they are missing footage from the beginning of the 2021022 school year.  If you have any video clips you would like to be used in the short film, please submit them to the Google folder found in your email from January 6th or on Blackboard Student Information.  Please keep the videos school-appropriate, as this video will be made public at the end of the school year.
