2010 School Board Recognition Month

Members of the North Hills School Board were recognized on Jan. 18, 2010, by a group of students representing each of the district’s eight schools. Led by senior Paul Shields and junior Ashley Mittereder, two of the school board’s student representatives, students presented each board member with a book that had been purchased in his/her honor. All books will be placed in school libraries throughout the district.
