Seniors with outstanding fees (cafeteria, media, technology, parking & others) should submit their payments as soon as possible. The full balance must be paid in order to participate in Northwood’s graduation ceremony and to receive an official printed diploma. Seniors who have not paid their balances by Friday, June 4th at 12:00p.m. will not be permitted to attend graduation practice or participate in the graduation ceremony. Only cash or money order will be accepted for payments.

If you are interested in running Cross Country in the Fall of 2021 please email Coach Isenhour at cisenhour@chatham.k12.nc.us or stop by his Room 711.
