The Patriot Premier
The Weekly Update for NPHS families, Mar 2 - 7, 2020
Q3 Ends Friday
Hello Patriots,
Last week, among other outstanding things, we honored our State champion JROTC drill team and FFA State-bound winners with a State walk. Click here to see more. And check out the pictures below of other cool happenings last week.
Friday of this week concludes the third quarter of the school year. Students will be released early...click here for that schedule. Friday also begins our Spring Break and there is no school the following week. The building will be hopping though starting Wednesday of the break, as NPHS will host the Aurora and MAC basketball tournaments.
Students need to know that third-quarter grades are used to determine eligibility for Spring sports, so attending to any missing assignments this last week of the quarter is especially important for athletes.
Wishing you a good week, and a safe, fun Spring Break,
John Fink
Interim Principal
