NHW - May 23rd - End of Year 21-22
To NHW Parents/Guardians:
A Message from Mrs. Hughes, Principal
After spending only 1 school year at NHW (and 9 in RLASD), I have come quick to realize that NHW is a very special place. It will be my pleasaure to spend many more years at NHW working towards helping our school to become an even better place for everyone at NHW.
I hope you take some time over the summer break to reenergize and spend time together as a family. I know I am looking forward to family time with my husband, Reagan (6) and Reese (4)!
