News and Announcements

Seniors: Information and applications for several local scholarships, including Dollars for Scholars, are now available in the Guidance Office, or online at the Guidance link.

This year for the first time NHS has a Robotics Club. Sponsoring a Robotics Club is a pretty amazing feat. Not only did the school need to find a teacher to step up to the plate as the advisor…thank you Mrs. Johnson, we also needed to find some engineers to assist as advisors…and we needed to find grant money. Thanks to grants from GE, JCPenny, UTC and NEF the club has garnered $20,000 to help them get set up and pay entry fees (which are not cheap).

Come to the Third Annual Comedy Night on Saturday, Jan.28th at 7 p.m. at Blue Bonnet Diner Florentine Room. Two professional comedians, Artie Januario and Max Dolcelli, will be performing to help support the Nothampton Athletic Department. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased from the NHS Athletic Office, via mail, email or in person. Please note that this function is for those over 21. A cash bar and hot appetizers are available at 6 p.m.

On December 15, 2011, students and staff at the high school "Mixed It Up" by sitting at different tables at lunch. This activity was sponsored by the Key Club, SOCA and the GSA in order to break down the artificial barriers that separate students from each other. This is part of a national effort supported by the people who publish the magazine, Teaching Tolerance, and has been tried in thousands of high schools around the country.
