On Wednesday morning NLC held an assembly where the Santa Fe Trail Association recognized 8th grade students who participated last school year in designing pages for their 25-26 calendar. The students, Mr. Chanley, and the school received certificates, a plaque, and a copy of the calendar.










Thank you to Michelle Pringle for the amazing photos from last night's parade. We had a great turnout and a fun time.

Introducing your 2025 Northern Heights High School Homecoming King and Queen Candidates. Join us for the crowning on October 10th at 6:30 PM at Northern Heights.





Since learning that some USD 251 patrons are having mail delivery issues with the facilities survey, we have placed additional QR codes in several locations in our communities. Also, paper surveys can be picked up in Americus at the district office, Allen at the high school, and Reading at the cafe. Completed surveys can be dropped off at the district office, NLC, NHHS, and the bank in Reading. The survey will be open until October 10th. Thank you for providing valuable feedback to our school district.

It's game day for NLC! We are playing in Hartford. Volleyball begins at 5:00pm, football begins at 6:30pm.
