Honoring the 2020 NHS Alumni Scholarship Recipients

2020 has challenged us to rethink everything that once was tradition including how we honor our NHS Alumni Scholarship recipients. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the graduates with limited public celebrations, we want to shine the spotlight on them, their accomplishments and their plans for the future. We wish them all the best as they move onward from high school and begin the next phase of their lives. We know that each NHS alumnus sends them well-wishes and looks forward to hearing about their future successes. 

Each recipient will be provided a $1,200 scholarship to assist with their first-year of college education expenses.

Information on Alumni Weekend - May 24 & 25, 2019

Nothing remains the same and sometimes change is needed to inject new energy to maintain interest in an event. After several years of decreased participation at our traditional dance following the Saturday evening banquet, the committee has made the decision to move the music, dancing, and conversation to Friday night.

Please plan to join friends and classmates at the Nelsonville Elks on Friday evening, May 24 at 7 p.m.  Food from the Elks bar menu and drinks will be available for purchase.  There is no cost to attend this event. 

The traditional alumni events will continue to take on Saturday, May 25, including the class luncheons and evening banquet with class reports and introduction of scholarship recipients. Tickets for the banquet will be on sale beginning April 15 at Blackburn Home Furnishings. Cost is $20.

We look forward to seeing you Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate the spirit of the Nelsonville High School Greyhounds.

Sincerely, 

NHS Alumni Committee
