Happy New Year, NHS Community!
As we welcome 2025, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible conclusion to 2024. The unwavering support of our school community continues to inspire and amaze us. This was especially evident in the success of our annual 12 Days of Giving in support of Niverville Helping Hands, the Staff Appreciation Lunch, and our wonderful Christmas Concert. We are so grateful for your generosity and engagement – thank you for making these events memorable!
As we closed the chapter on 2024, we eagerly anticipate the opportunities and growth that 2025 will bring. We encourage everyone to embrace the new year with a growth mindset. Together, as students, educators, and a school community, we are continuously learning and striving for excellence. Our doors are always open, and we invite you to join us on this journey. If you have questions, concerns, or simply want to stop by for a visit, please don’t hesitate to connect with us.
