Parin Timbadia delivers the Valedictorian Address

Each year we share out the reflections of our senior speakers from the graduation ceremony. For the Class of 2023, Valedictorian Parin Timbadia shared the overall commencement address.


"Today, we stand here because no matter what path we took, we made it. Some of us are lifers and have been here since kindergarten, while some of us moved here just for high school. No matter where we came from, we all conquered the challenges of high school — both those expected and…unexpected." Read the full speech...

Staff thank you from NAHS Class of 2023 Salutatorian, Manas Nair

"So…this is it.


We've all assembled here, dressed in maroon gowns, caps, with tassels on top, looking forward to the beginning of a new chapter. Congratulations Class of 2023 — this leg of the marathon is over.

But I'm not here to talk about us — we've already had plenty of pictures from proud parents, speeches, and congratulations for months." Read the full speech...

Sydney Lyell provides the Parent Thank You

"As we sit here today celebrating the biggest moment of our lives, I want to thank the people who have been essential in getting us here: our parents. This day is as much theirs as it is ours.

Parents, your love and support has shaped us into who we are today. You have cheered us on when we succeeded, comforted us when we failed, and stood by us through every moment. You believed in us before we ever believed in ourselves." Read the full speech...
