125 endowment funds technology

Since 1885,more than 15,000 stu­dents have walked the halls of NHS. Now, those students have a chance to give back to the people who gave them their education.

The Railer 125 endowment is a fund that anyone can donate to. It provides an opportunity for alumni, the community and friends of the school to support NHS’ current stu­dents and staff.

The money raised will be used spe­cifically to enhance technology at the high school. Grants for teachers and innovative programs for the class­rooms are just a few possibilities.

The initial goal of the Railer 125 endowment fund was to collect $125,000. Currently, the fund is just short of $100,000.

“The fund is important because the economy is so stressed right now,” principal Ken Rickard said.

Homecoming weekend, Oct. 1-3 2010, marks the closure of the endowment campaign. There are several potential activities planned, such as a fun run, golf tournament and tailgate party.

“It’s a celebration for everyone that has graduated here,” Superinten­dent John Morton said.

Rickard and Morton are hopeful that the endowment will meet its goal.

“A lot of people have donated, and hopefully a lot more people will,” Rickard said.
