On Sunday, Mar. 26, NCHS will host the annual scholarship drive where students go door to door to raise money for scholarships that will send their classmates to college. While all contributions, including those from businesses and families, are appreciated, student involvement can make or break the program. To get involved, students can sign up at a table in the cafeteria from Mar. 20-24. A ‘pep-rally’ will also be held on the 24th and is meant to encourage kids to come out and help raise more money each year.

I believe I was in the sixth grade when I heard my first “that’s what she said” joke. At the time it didn’t make much sense, a cluster of innocent words made hilarious by a simple phrase. By seventh grade I was fully aware of the “top secret” meaning, and by eighth grade it became (shamefully) as much a part of my vernacular as “like” or “Facebook.” Though the joke has somewhat faded from funniness over the years, at least for most high schoolers, the real purpose of it lingers everywhere students go.
What’s coming up at NCHS this weekend?
