NDB Awards Celebration

In consulting with our Department Chairs about the best time to host our Awards Celebration, it was determined that a weeknight is probably best since many families and students have other obligations on the weekend.

The date for our Awards Celebration will be Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in the Moore Pavilion. The Academic Awards Celebration will honor students in grades 9 - 12 as was done in the past. We look forward to this event as a special time to recognize and acknowledge the study ethic, hard work, and steadfast perseverance of our students.
