NHSAF ALUMNI GAME GATHERING - NHS FOOTBALL HOME OPENER

Our alumni group was small, but we met a large number of current Vikings and family at our tailgate. Handing out water and NHSAF business cards before the game. We added a new feature to the alumni game by celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the 1970 and 1971 classes. We hope you will join us next year as we celebrate the graduates of 1972. .

Maureen Kennedy Invitational - A new 3K Alumni Event

NHS Alumni Foundation, represented by Rob and Bobbi Ruhl '69, greeted many young Northland alumni at the new Maureen Kennedy Memorial 3K Run on Saturday, September 11th. Most of these alumni had either been coached by Mrs. Kennedy or had her as a teacher. They came out to show their love for Maureen, a cross country and track coach, and Northland teacher, who passed away unexpectedly in May. Northland has been running this cross country invitational for 45 years. The Alumni Run will be a yearly memorial event that compliments this oldest invitational in the district. Join us next year for the Alumni 3k walk/Run. This announcement gives you Alumni runners a year to get ready!
