Interact Leaders showed KINDNESS, TEAMWORK, PASSION, and COURAGE for braving the cold and working our ICE out hunger event! It was so much fun for Spartans of all ages and it was great to see the leaders put service above self!

Thank you to the 60+ NHS students that helped at Lower School Science Night! You all were amazing; wonderful with the kids, excited about your stations, and made clean up happen super fast! Thank you for your KINDNESS, TEAMWORK, and PASSION!

*Talk to your teachers about supplementary credit that they may choose to offer for your participation.

We are looking for some people to work the Varsity Boy’s and Girl’s Soccer games this Spring. Our first home game is this Friday, the 22nd. Contact contact Shawn Harding in the lower school if you are interested. It pays $15 per game, and we usually have 2 games a night.
