NDHSAA update for winter sports: Governor Burgum's office announced Wednesday, November 18, 2020 they will issue an amended order that will allow practices to resume for high school winter sports and association, community and club sports for youth and adults starting Nov. 30. The change comes after daily consultation and collaboration between the governor and legislative leaders, constructive input from the North Dakota High School Activities Association and athletic associations, and feedback from numerous legislators, parents, school administrators, students, coaches, mental health professionals, and others concerned about the impacts of suspended activities on students’ well-being. A link to recently updated NDHSAA FAQs related to the current winter sports suspension are available on the link below: https://bit.ly/NDHSAA-FAQ-EO-2020-43 Please remember things can and probably will change throughout the winter season, thanks for your patience and understanding.

Due to our amazing Honker Nation Girls’ VB team making it to the state tournament, I’ve decided to close school on Thursday and Friday so that staff, students, families, and friends can attend the tournament without any worries about taking time off from school. We have more than enough hours built into our school calendar to accommodate these two days without having to worry about making them up. My hopes are this will help our extremely crazy year seem more normal. GO HONKERS! Dr. Godfrey
