Seniors:

For Seniors and Senior Families – If you or your student hasn’t ordered their cap and gown yet, now is the time to do so! We still have seniors who haven’t placed an order. Price for cap, gown, tassel and stole costs $64.95 (before shipping/handling and tax). Go to the Seniors Cap and Gown webpage for link to the Jostens website. Please note that although Jostens/National Achiever charges for shipping and handling, the caps/gowns will be delivered to Nathan Hale and will be distributed sometime in May. If you are in need of assistance for cap & gown, the school does have a limited supply of gently-used gowns (and some caps) that are available to borrow. The student and/or family would still need to pay for a tassel, stole and possibly a cap if one is not available to borrow. Contact the Main Office at 206.252.3680 if you have questions about cap and gown orders.

Senior SPREE tickets are on sale for $250!  Checks made payable to NHSPREE can be dropped off at the SPREE mailbox in the main office.  Please write your student’s name on the check. Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here!  Please consider making a donation.
