THE OLD OAK TREE

Our hearts are sad to announce that the Viking Oak Tree, which has stood tall and strong at the East end of the football field since long before Northland Junior Senior High School opened in September 1966, journeyed to Valhalla after high winds and rain took it down over the Memorial Day Weekend. See our Facebook page for photos and video. Good Bye, Faithful Viking Tree.

NHS VIKING WELLNESS CENTER

CALLING ALL ALUMNI!

NHSAF is sharing the word about the Northland HS Wellness Center. It will provide students with essential resources for promoting physical and mental well-being as they prepare for their team sports. Your donations will go towards NHSAF's portion, a commitment to raise up to $15,000 over the summer. Can you help??

The school and football team are fundraising for additional areas at the center, and our portion will go towards the exercise and weight room. We need your support for our big Alumni fundraiser commitment. Whether $5 or $1,000, your donation is an opportunity to pay it forward and create a lasting legacy for future NHS generations.

This is how the Viking Stadium came to be in the early years, through Northland Nation generosity.  

You can make a donation of any size through our

Facebook Campaign by clicking the link below.

NHSAF SPOTLIGHT

Our VIKING SPOTLIGHT for June is on Bruce and Steve Smith as a two-part spotlight on four brothers who attended Northland. These brothers pushed each other forward to accomplish great things. In this segment Bruce, the oldest, was in the first graduating class at NHS in 1968. Steve, the third oldest, graduated in 1971. Check out how their Viking and family experiences shaped them as they became successful individuals in very different ways.
