The community is invited and welcome to attend this year’s graduation ceremony!
“We are so excited to celebrate this big day with our graduates and their families,” shared NHA Principal Marty Friess. “Graduation is one of my favorite school events, because we get to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our students, as well as, thank their parents for their dedication, commitment, and trust in us. This year’s graduation is even more special and exciting for me. My grandson, Jack, will be graduating this year, and I’m so looking forward to sharing the stage with him and handing him his hard-won diploma. I hope everyone comes out for this year’s 2026 graduation ceremony.”
Congratulations to our 2026 graduates!
