Also, what an amazing night we had this past Tuesday at the QRTA Scholarship Ceremony. QRTA gave 2,800 dollars to 20 of our seniors and 20 of QHS seniors. In total, QRTA gave 112,000 dollars in scholarships to QPS seniors. That is incredible.

Senior Prom/Stay Out
Thank you to everyone who had a role in organizing an incredible prom on Friday. We had an absolute blast! The venue was great and only outdone by the company. Thank you to our PAC and volunteers who made Stay-out such an amazing night for our students!!
Student Support Updates
Student support is currently running and proctoring over 800 AP exams that our students are taking and we are proud to help our students with their academic success. Student Support’s yearly 10th grade Career Day is happening this Friday, May 17th. We have over 30 presenters who have committed to attend! The entire 10th grade will participate and hear presentations from 2 career clusters (6 speakers) about potential career opportunities. Student Support is getting ready to sign-out our Seniors! The final day for senior sign-out will take place in Student Support on Friday, May 31st. Students will need to complete all class sign-outs, as well as other faculty sign-outs, before ending with their counselor and dean. Senior students must also complete the Senior Survey and submit a final transcript request before they sign out with us! Student Support will be available to meet with current 11th graders individually who are interested in starting their post-graduate planning with us. The NQHS Scholarship Ceremony for the Class of 2024 will be on Thursday, June 6th at 12:00pm in the Peter J. Chrisom Auditorium. If your student receives an invitation, that means that they are the recipient of one or more scholarships.
