Homecoming Preview: Week Full of Events for Students and Community

NHS hopes to make this year’s Homecoming the biggest event yet by teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to raise money and provide a week of activities for students and the community.

Two years have passed since NHS re-invented Homecoming with “The Comeback” and students have again planned Homecoming with a greater purpose. With the Wisconsin Make-A-Wish Foundation, students have created “Wish’N” with the hope to raise $15,000 to grant three wishes.
