Q: What does the association do?
A: So many things !! Of course, the Boosters do raise funds ... and these funds provide scholarships for school athletes and also significantly augment individual sport's teams funds, as well as help improve the overall infrastructure at the school which benefit all sports. The Boosters also provide an organizational structure that helps volunteers to participate much more effectively in school athletic programs.

Q: Who can be a member?
A: Anyone. Alumni parents or community members without children currently at NHS are welcome. Parents of children in middle school are encouraged to get involved early.

Q: How do I become a member?
A: Print and fill out the form on the Join/Donate page. Send it to the address on the form. It's that easy!

Q: Are any contributions tax deductible?
A: Any contribution made may be tax deductible. NHS Boosters Association is a nonprofit organization. See your tax accountant for specific details.

Q: How can I get a web site set-up for my child's sport?
A: All we need is a team webmaster to volunteer. It's relatively easy for a computer 'techie'.

Q: How can I find out how much money is in the general fund, scholarship fund or any individual sport's fund?
A: Treasurer's reports are provided at every booster club meeting or ask your coach.

Q: Why put so much effort into sports? How does participating in sports affect student-athletes?
A: It has been shown through studies that there are significant performance differences between athletes and non-athletes.  There is apparently a positive correlation between higher grade-point averages, higher attendance rates, lower discipline referrals, lower dropout rates, and higher graduation rates.
