North Atlanta High School

HONORS NIGHT
The North Atlanta Honors Night Ceremony will take place Wednesday, May 17 at 6pm in the
NAHS Theater. Students will receive printed invitations at school on May 8. During the
ceremony, we will award individual academic achievement for specific organizations and
competitions and present several school-wide awards. Academic achievement includes students
who earned a 4 or 5 on a 2021-2022 AP exam or a 5, 6, or 7 on a 2021-2022 IB exam.
Additionally, we will recognize the Principal’s List honor roll, which includes students with a
weighted 94.0 GPA both semesters of the previous school year (2021-2022). We recognize
scores and grades from the previous school year because grades and test scores from the current
school year have not yet been finalized. If you have any questions, please email Erica Hiers at
ehiers@atlanta.k12.ga.us.

NAHS FOUNDATION
Big thanks to the North Atlanta High School Foundation (NAHSF) for approving a $15K grant request to support the NAHS Food Pantry! The grant will be dispersed at $2,500 per semester for the next 6 semesters so the School Social Workers, in partnership with Operation Feed, may maintain and expand our food pantry. This grant is an incredible show of support for NAHS students and families who are experiencing food insecurity. Many people know the good works of the NAHSF and how they strive to support the needs of our community of stakeholders. Sincerely, we thank them for loving NAHS and for sharing its resources to address the very real needs of this community.
