Principal's Weekly Update - Nov 26, 2025

Good Afternoon NVTHS families,

Happy Thanksgiving! We conclude our short week today with an early dismissal. Please remember that school will be closed Thursday, and Friday. We wish you and your family a safe, restful, and truly grateful holiday break!

Even with the short schedule, this past week was marked by a wonderful celebration. We were proud to host the Athletics Hall of Fame Ceremony, honoring the exceptional achievements and lasting contributions of a truly deserving group of athletes. It was an inspiring evening for our entire community, and we extend our warmest congratulations once again to all the inductees. In addition, we bid a fond farewell to Ms. Foley our Dental Assisting teacher on her retirement from NT. (photos below)

Meanwhile, students remained busy at school. In Engineering & Robotics students worked as a team to create a Rube Goldberg machine and in Culinary & Hospitality students prepared over $4,000 worth of Thanksgiving orders.
