It's that time of year:  NAHS has tons of activities under way and we are fortunate to have tons of great news about our students.  So get ready to read!  Please scroll through to the end so that you know all things NAHS.

Let's start out with a very long list of CONGRATULATIONS to the following students.....

CONGRATS TO The NAHS Dance Department and their dancers for acceptances into summer dance programs all over the country. A big shout out to: Lydia Rainwater (Atlanta Ballet Summer Advanced Intensive), Katie Morris (American Dance Festival), and Reid Newton (Alvin Ailey Professional Division Summer Intensive, Florida State University Summer Intensive, UNC School of the Arts, The Rock School of Ballet). Congrats to all students who were accepted into the Dance Canvas DC Next Summer Intensive Program: Katie Morris, Reid Newton, Jalin Ford, Olivia Jackson, Ameera Hill, Jhane Barnes, and Nykkia Rippy.

Coach Perez reports, “Of the eight regions in AAA in Georgia, schools in our region 5-AAA have been the top two teams fighting for the state trophy in each of the past six years.  This makes our region one of the most competitive in the state.  This season our Lady Warriors fought fiercely against archrival Grady High at the region tournament to place fourth in the region.  This finish earned NAHS a trip to state for the first time since 2003. We have a relatively young tennis squad that has competed strongly against schools known for dominating at the regional level and state level.  What does this say about our Lady Warriors?  This season’s accomplishment will hopefully be the beginning of a new tradition here at North Atlanta, a tradition in which we send a team to compete in the State Tournament each and every year.  The team’s competitive excellence, its coaching staff, and its student athletes have come together in a perfect recipe that will help our Lady Warriors become better students, tennis players, and outstanding citizens.”
 
CONGRATS to our two NAHS Odyssey of the Mind teams for earning 1st and 4th Place  at State Competition!

COLLEGE & CAREER CENTER
 
The College & Career Center (CCC) is developing a partnership with Georgia Tech’s Gamma Beta Phi Society to provide after-school tutoring for our students.  Gamma Beta Phi is a national honor and service organization requiring top 10% academic ranking to be considered for membership. Considering how difficult it is to be accepted to Georgia Tech, it is exciting to consider the support these highly successful Tech students can offer our own NAHS students.  Our first joint endeavor will be a session to prepare for the upcoming EOCTs later this month. Specific dates and times are Monday, April 16th and Wednesday, April 18th, 3:30-4:30 in the CCC.  This is open to ANY student taking an EOCT.  Please encourage your students to come to the CCC to receive a “College & Career Center After-School Pass” and sign up for the specific subject matter in which they need assistance. This is the only way we can assure each student’s specific academic needs can be met.

Seniors, please remember to bring a copy of ALL college acceptances and scholarship offers to the CCC by May 1st! We create YOUR GRADUATION PROGRAM from this information. Only financial totals will be printed in the program. All specific financial, scholarship, and grant information will be kept confidential and are for CCC Directors' eyes only.  Thank you!

Rave reviews are still flying around for the outstanding production of West Side Story by the Center for the Arts.  A highlight of the show's two-week run was having actress Jasmine Guy (best known for her role on A Different World), in the audience for one of the final performances.  Ms. Guy, pictured above with cast members, is a graduate of North Atlanta's Center for the Performing Arts and had a starring role in West Side Story during her years at NAHS.
