Shout out to the B3 Student Council students! Great new bulletin boards!
Instead of naming a “Player of the Week,” the coaching staff and seniors chose to give the game ball to Coach Jonathan Calvin and to dedicate last Friday’s game to him. Coach Calvin’s father passed away on Friday, and he was unable to attend the game. Our thoughts and prayers are with Coach Calvin and his family.
Our Charging Wildcats defeated the Cabot Panthers, 37-36. This electrifying game marked the end of the regular season.
Next up is playoffs! The team has a bye week and will be gearing up for a matchup against the winner of the Springdale Har-Ber versus Little Rock Central game.
Let’s go, Charging Wildcats!
NLRHS will participate in an ACT Online Study. This study will allow 250 juniors to take the December 14th ACT at no cost. Some students will take an online version of the exam and some will take the traditional paper version; students will not know which version until they arrive for testing and cannot choose which version. The results are valid for college admissions and scholarships.
In order to take the test, a special voucher is required.
If your would like your student to participate in this study, please direct them to complete the form titled: ACT Online Study: December 14 that was sent to their school email account.
