The countdown is ON. There are only 7 more school days for our seniors! It is moving fast, I know I don't have to tell you, and these days are going to be jam packed. Take a look at the summary below.

As seniors get ready to walk the stage, some reminders are important:

- These days are important- finals, final review, senior projects- our seniors attendance has dipped quite a bit this month, and I want to boost them up and remind them to finish in a way that would make themselves proud.

- Behavior matters: walking at graduation is a privilege, not a right. Seniors who choose to engage in a destructive manner, including destructive "senior pranks", will be disciplined appropriately, which CAN include not walking at graduation. The graduation ceremony is one for the entire family- remind your senior that their choices can affect more than just them.

- Final transcripts- seniors will request their final transcripts to the college of their choice through Naviance. These will be sent out after transcripts are finalized the week of June 10th.

- Senior Circle- seniors who have been invited to senior circle because they are receiving an award are encouraged to bring their families and dress nicely for the occasion. Those who cannot attend can pick up their awards can get them in the office after Monday.

We are thrilled to see our seniors reach these last days, and this final high school achievement, and we look forward to celebrating them with you very soon!

Tuesday, May 28th is our Seniors Last Day of school! Congratulations! Check out the details below...

Seniors will be participating in a GRAD WALK at Walnut Acres Elementary OR Highlands Elementary. Even if the senior didn't attend these schools, it's a sweet event and the younger students love seeing high school grads in their caps and gowns.

Field trip forms are in the main office by attendance and you must fill the form out in order to attend the grad walk. You will be missing A period, 1st and 2nd periods. White form for Walnut Acres and Orange form for Highlands. You only choose one elementary school. Students are responsible to get themselves to the elementary school and return to NHS by 9:30am.

IF A SENIOR DOESN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE GRAD WALK, THEY HAVE TO ATTEND THEIR A, 1ST AND 2ND PERIOD CLASSES.

After the grad walks, all seniors report back to Northgate in the gym at 9:30am to enjoy friends, music, catered brunch (breakfast burritos, fruit, muffins, pancakes, sausage, bacon, veggie options, grab & go items), superlative awards ceremony, photo booths, games, cornhole, design a pennant for your next chapter, and watch the senior slideshow! After hanging out in the gym we'll move outside and play in the pool!

We still need childhood memories/photos for our Senior Slideshow - ​Please Submit photos here!​​​

8:15am - Arrive at Walnut Acres or Highlands - Grad Walks until 9:30am
9:30/9:45am-12:30pm - Back to Northgate
