We Got This!
Happy Sunday Panthers!
I sincerely hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful weekend. Now we are right in the middle of the grind! This is where consistency, resiliency, and hard work really pay off. Students and parents, we are here to work with you, your teachers are here to work with you, work with each other, and continue to communicate with each other. I know we are all checking off the days to get to the finish line. We need to run hard through the finish line not limp. You Got This!

NPHS GSA DAY OF SILENCE
NPHS Gay-Straight Alliance Sponsors the Annual Day of Silence, on Friday, April 23 during school hours
Friday, April 23 is the National Day of Silence, and GSA invites everyone to participate. During the Day of Silence, students are silent for the day in support of the LGBTQ+ community who still do not have an equal voice in society today. Please join us in silent solidarity with all who experience inequity and discrimination.
Please fill out the google form here if you want to participate, so we can let your teachers know that you are going to be silent on Friday. To honor the day, please try to refrain from texting or other types of communication, especially while on the quad.
