NHSAF ALUMNI GAME GATHERING

NHS FOOTBALL HOME OPENER

The place was packed! The teams were ranked 2 (them) and 8 (Vikings) in their divisions, so there was lots of excitement even though the game ended 8-6 for the other team. The Vikings are currently 1-0 in City League play and 2-2 overall. Let Go Vikings!

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. Please help us with this final push to achieve this goal. 

We would like to thank so many of you for your donations and support as we have raised just over $10,000 towards the NHS Viking Wellness Center so far. The combined alumni support will go towards the exercise and weight room.

Barring the rumors, our Alma Mater is NOT closing. This wellness Center will be a valuable asset to the students for years to come! Your donation, whether $100, $50 or even $25, is an opportunity to pay it forward and create a lasting legacy for future NHS generations of Northland Vikings.

There are several ways to help.
