Nobel Laureate Visits High School North

On Friday, February 18th Nobel Laureate and HSN Alumnus (Class of 1982) Maria Ressa visited our students as a part of Princeton University's Alumni Day. Maria met with and answered questions from a group of students who participate in the same programs she did during her high school career. Thank you to Princeton University for allowing our school to be a part of their weekend. Ms. Ressa will return to our school on May 23rd, when our auditorium will be dedicated in her name.

2022 GIRL'S STATE PROGRAM

There will be a VIRTUAL interest meeting THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24th, after school for any JUNIOR girl interested in participating in the Girls' State Program this year. (classroom code: a6bcbii)

What is Girls' State? For over 50 years the American Legion Auxiliary has provided junior girls with a unique opportunity to learn how and why our system of government works. Each year girls from across the country are selected for the program based on their interest in government, leadership potential, scholastic achievement, and personal accomplishments.

Girls’ State is a week-long conference designed to help high school students develop a new perspective on the complexities of government and develop leadership, confidence and poise.

Any Junior girl who is interested in the program, but cannot attend the virtual meeting on Thursday, please ask her to stop by C30 to get the information.

PROM 2022 FASHION SHOW - VENDORS INVITED

The Prom 2022 Fashion Show hosted by Fashion Club and the LGBTQ club is looking for local vendors to buy table space in the lobby for the evening of the show. The show is Thursday March 10th at 6pm. We are looking for prom related businesses such as limo, floral, nails, salons, tanning, etc. The cost per table is $25. Vendors must supply their own tables. In return not only will they get advertising, we will give them a free ad in the program and be listed as a co- sponsor. They can give out business cards, book appointments, hold raffles, etc.


We are very excited to support local businesses! Please email jneuhoff@trschools.com for more information.

Click HERE for a show synopsis. In typical Roald Dahl fashion, the musical can be very dark at times. We would rate it PG as they discuss suicide and death.
