IT'S HERE!!!! The Class of '24 graduates tonight. We are so excited to see these young men and women take this step in their lives and head out to start the next phase of life. Whether they are going to college, military, trade school or straight into the workforce, we expect great things from this group. They will always be remembered and welcomed back at NHS.
Congratulations & Good Luck Class of 2024!!!
Parents, please continue to encourage great attendance at school and a strong academic finish for our 9th-11th graders. Individual teachers are your best resource if you have questions about grades.
You can email teachers to get the best information on your student.
If you ever have questions, please feel free to reach out.
Each year, the Maws & Paws Booster Club donates prizes to be given away to our students on the seniors last day. Students across all grades are entered into a drawing based upon being nominated for the Grizzly Way Pillars and based upon yearly attendance. We were able to give away around $1800 in prizes and gift cards plus tickets to the Newport Roxy Theatre. The largest prize not included in the above total was a 2006 Ford Taurus donated by the Booster Club and the Grizzly Garage. Congrats to Senior William Shaw for winning the car. The drawing for the car was solely based upon attendance. ATTENDANCE MATTERS!!!
Congrats to the first ever Grizzly Principal Award Winners Norah Christie and Roxann Wrynn.
This is a new award this year. These students had to meet the following criteria to be considered for the award:
1. Must be a Senior
2. Significant Contribution to NHS

4. Academic Achievement (not necessarily a top student)
5. Involvement in organizations, clubs & athletics
6. Community Service
7. Hardworking
8. Kind & Dependable
9. Does the right thing even if no one is watching
10. Ability to overcome challenges
This award was also sponsored by Owen’s Grocery, Deli & Soda Fountain and Country Lane. This award comes with a $250 cash sponsorship as well.
In an effort to take both Calculus and Statistics before graduating high school, several students have asked if there is an opportunity to take a math class over the summer so they can advance to the next level as we return in the fall.
We researched several options, and want to ensure all students have access to the opportunity if they choose.
Parents/Guardians may enroll students in the online courses through BYU Independent StudyHigh School courses. The courses will be at the families expense and both semesters of the course would need to be completed by August 29th or students will remain in their scheduled math course. Students must be registered in the general course, not credit recovery. Credit Recovery courses are designed for students that have previously failed the course. Students wishing to earn credit to advance ahead in math MUST be enrolled in the general education course.
You may contact Mrs. Pierce for help with registration and course selection (509) 447-2481 or piercesaraya@newportgriz.com.
Students will make their account: https://is.byu.edu/hs and get started. Again, please reach out to Mrs. Pierce if you have any questions regarding the course selection and registration process.

Seniors, don’t cancel your plans! The FAFSA application process this year has been frustrating, to say the least, but colleges are being flexible and money for college or training is still available. If you haven’t submitted a financial aid application yet, don’t worry—it’s not too late! Apply as soon as you can.
Financial aid offers are starting to go out.
Some colleges have started sending out financial aid award offers to those who have applied. It’s important to remain patient, though, as the timeline will vary among colleges. Many are still working to process delayed data from the FAFSA, especially community & technical colleges.
You can now check your status & make corrections.
Log into to your StudentAid.gov account to check your application status. Due to this year’s FAFSA changes, it is especially important to confirm that your application is complete and correct. If you need to add schools to your application, add missing info, or fix an error, now is the time to do so.
Mixed status families can now finish their applications.
The U.S. Department of Education is temporarily allowing parents and guardians without a social security number to immediately complete their portion of the online 2024-25 FAFSA application. They must create a StudentAid.gov account to gain access.
Remember, in Washington, WA Grant is guaranteed to eligible students—half of families can get some money for college or career training. It’s worth it to apply for financial aid!
Continue with your plans after high school and pursue your educational goals. Be sure to submit your FAFSA or WASFA. The only way to find out if you qualify is to apply.
