Dear NHS Volleyball Families,
I recently had the opportunity to meet with our Activities Director, John Mahal, to review our season. This annual review allows me to reflect not only on the varsity season, but on our entire program as a whole—celebrating successes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and discussing key themes that support our ongoing growth.
The purpose of sharing this with you is to ensure our program families know that we take time each year to evaluate our progress and set goals for the future. Our commitment remains to provide the best possible experience for our student-athletes while continuously striving to improve.
Key Areas of Focus:
Raiders LEAD: Leadership, Excellence, Adaptability, and Development
Student Athlete Survey Feedback
Family Survey Feedback
Program and Communication Development
Thank you for your continued support of our program and for being a vital part of our community. Thank you to the student athletes and families who completed the Survey Feedback forms. Together, we’ll keep building a strong foundation for success both on and off the court.
Sincerely, Beth Larson

Varsity parents are asked to sign up to prepare a meal this season. We can do "cooler-meals" for AWAY games and traditional HOT MEALS set up either in the HS commons or at your house for HOME games. This is a great way for our athletes to get a healthy meal without the added hassle of packing extra lunches from home.
Cooler Meal supplies can be delivered by parent or student to the HS Commons area by 3:00 p.m. on days of AWAY games.
HOME game meals must allow for athletes to arrive in the HS gym by 4:45pm for duties during the JV and B-Squad matches. THANK YOU PARENTS FOR YOUR IMPORTANT ROLE IN HELPING OUR PLAYERS BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE! THEY LOVE THIS TRADITION!!!
