NHS VIKING WELLNESS CENTER

CALLING ALL ALUMNI 

NHSAF is proud to support our high school's development of 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 have targeted fundraising for additional areas at the center. Our combined alumni support will go toward the exercise and weight room. Will you help support our big Alumni fundraising commitment? Whether $100, $50 or even $25, your donation is an opportunity to pay it forward and create a lasting legacy for future NHS generations.

There are several ways to help.

Through July 8th, you can donate through a Facebook Giving Fund campaign by clicking the link below

NO, NORTHLAND IS NOT CLOSING!

With Columbus Public Schools looking to consolidate buildings, rumors have been floating around that Northland will be closing. The fact is NHS is NOT in any closure scenarios being discussed by Columbus City Schools. Rest assured that our beloved alma mater will be open for the foreseeable future.
 

Here is a LINK to an article about the current plan.
