Senior week at NHP went full steam ahead by going back in time. Decade Day kicked off the first two days of senior week, and the Class of 2021 showed off their best throwback looks, dating back all the way to the 1700s. Even though it was not the senior week that they imagined, full-time in-school seniors were able to enjoy Decade Day twice and hybrid students savored the day they’ve always anticipated.

“As a remote student, I was disappointed that I couldn't participate in senior week the way I've wanted to since 7th grade. However, I know that the school is doing their best with the difficult situation, and I'm glad that some of my in-person friends got to be a true part of it,” said Khushi Shah.
