Norton High School Graduates Appreciate a Night to Remember

Thank You for a Night to Remember
NHS 2018 All-Night Grad Party

The Norton High School Parent Advisory Board wishes to recognize the tremendous community effort and support given to make the NHS All-Night Grad Party an outstanding event for our Norton High School Graduates. On Friday, June 1st into the early hours of Saturday, June 2nd, 126 graduates of the NHS Class of 2018 enjoyed a fabulous night at the Attleboro YMCA to cap off their time together at Norton High School. This event is sponsored by the NHS Parent Advisory Board and requires year-long preparation and fundraising to provide each graduating class a fun and safe opportunity to celebrate their success.

The 16th Annual All-Night Grad Party was a tremendous success due to the many family and business sponsorships as well as enthusiastic parent, community, alum, and NHS Staff volunteers. It was an exciting night of fun and memories provided free of charge to the graduates including dancing, an “Amazing Race”, a casino and game room, an inflatable area, henna tattoo artists, basketball, wiffle ball, Kan-Jam, a “Minute-To-Win It” event, Selfie Photo Station, prizes, pizza, snacks and a culminating hypnotist show! The night was enjoyed equally by both volunteers and students.

The NHS Parent Advisory Board and the Class of 2018 extend sincere gratitude to the many supporters who generously donated time, funds, services, and prizes to make this night possible. A special note of thanks is extended to the Attleboro YMCA for hosting our graduates each year.
