Welcome Back!

Welcome back to another great year at NGHS! Your sponsors and officers already have a great year planned for you! Make sure you pick up a flier on Open House night from your English teacher or stop by T-10, T-3, or T-4.

We will have our information meeting on Monday, August 17th at 2:30 in T-10. This is when the officers and sponsors will address all questions and go over the requirements. The applications will also be given out. This meeting will last about 30 minutes due to the amount of information we have to give you.

We will have our first official NEHS meeting the following Monday, August 24th at 2:30 in T-10. This meeting will be very short and we will be collecting money and applications and taking t-shirt orders. Most likely it will be over by 2:45pm.

We are also very excited to announce our speaker series for this fall. We have many prominent professionals from around Atlanta coming to speak once a month on their profession and how it relates to English/Literature/Speaking/Writing/Etc. These speaker series are MANDATORY (like your induction ceremony) events. You must clear your schedule now for these once a month events. They will last approx. 30 minutes - 1 hour (depending on the speaker). If for some reason you can not attend, please see one of the sponsors to be excused.

Our August Speaker Series will be on Monday, August 31st at 2:30pm, location TBA. The speaker will be Matt Felten from the Shakespeare Tavern. You may remember him as Hamlet, Puck, or Tiny Tim from last year's performances we attended. He will be speaking on his career and he will have an extended Q & A session.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you very soon!
