Three Northern Heights students participated in the National FCCLA in Washington, D.C., this summer. Juniors Reese Houck and Josie Tiffany competed in the Chapter and Review portfolio as a team after getting gold at the State conference in Wichita, and Sophomore Addisen Petersen tested for the Interpersonal Relationship Challenge, where she placed 5th in the nation. When these students weren't competing, they were out on the town, walking through museums, touring the capital, and learning about famous monuments.
This summer Cooper Woodrow attended the Kansas State precision Agriculture Workshop. He was awarded a certificate for successful completion of the Smart Farm Challenge.
Senior class of 2027 enjoyed their first senior activity the day before school!
The NLC Jr. High volleyball team enjoyed some team bonding making spirit posters for the gym.

It is being corrected online, but the printed calendars do not always have the correct location/opponent. Revised schedules will also be available at the NLC parent meeting and open house.
