DECA
Congratulations to all students who attended the DECA State Career Development Conference! Everyone did an amazing job! Special shout-outs to the following students:
- Medalist: Ellie Peterson
- Finalist: Jaylynne Lawler
- 6th Place Overall: Sophie Navarro
- Next stop: Orlando, Florida for our International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in April!
Students also had the opportunity to participate in the Twins “Team Behind The Team” program in Minneapolis, MN this past month. Almost 20 students toured the stadium and learned all about the economic impact a professional sports venue has. Moreover, they got to grab lunch at the Mall of America beforehand. It was a great day!

NES Mentors
Thank you to all the NHS students who have made a commitment to the NES Mentor program. We have a great group making a difference in the life of an NES student. Our 3 C’s for this year are Commitment, Communication, and Consistency. Thank you for committing; thank you for communicating with your cooperating teacher at NES; and thank you for being consistent. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Vik in Room 3055 or send an email to Mrs. Hietala. As spring approaches, the Communication piece is critical! We understand how busy ALL students are, so thank you in advance for your commitment, and please remember your NES student is counting on you each week to make that connection.
SADD/FACT
SADD and FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco) are combining efforts at NHS. We will be meeting with Sara White from Douglas County on Mar. 27.
Student Council
The Student Council will be adding a little fun to our Friday mornings by playing music (requested by the students) before the school day begins.
Trap Club
The Spring 2025 Season is scheduled to begin on April 9, from 4-6 pm. Before the season starts, there was an open house at the Hawthorne Trap Club on Saturday, March 29, from 11-2. Members can take a few practice shots, pattern their guns, and generally get acquainted. The Club is hoping to get some work done also, weather permitting.
