Norton High School 2017 Grad Party A Night to Remember

Thank You for a Night to Remember

NHS 2017 All-Night Grad Party

The Norton High School Parent Advisory Board wishes to recognize the tremendous community effort and support given again to make the NHS All-Night Grad Party an outstanding event for our Norton High Graduates. On Friday, June 2nd into the early hours of Saturday, June 3th, 112 graduates of the NHS Class of 2017 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 15th 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, a “Minute-To-Win It” event, photo booth, 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 2017 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. Additionally, the following community partners are appreciated for their support:
