Student representatives preview fall events, arts and wellness programs at North Hills
Summary
Student representatives Faith McAtee and Jane delivered a report on Sept. 18 detailing the marching band festival, homecoming, new Hilltop Cafe hours, theater dates, athletics results, school wellness weeks and other student activities.
Faith McAtee, a student representative, and Jane (student representative) reported at the Sept. 18 North Hills Board of Education meeting on upcoming student events and extracurricular developments. The highlights: the marching band festival is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20, at Monteralli Stadium; gates open at 4:45 p.m. and band performances begin at 6 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults; students and senior citizens are $5; children 5 and under are free. Homecoming will be Saturday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the high school gym; tickets will be sold only online through Sept. 30. The homecoming court will be presented Oct. 10 before the varsity football game versus Schaler at Monteralli Stadium, with king and queen crowned after the presentation. Student leaders also described the new Hilltop Cafe at the high school, which replaces the previous coffee shop and now serves lunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in addition to breakfast; the cafe offers coffees, flavored lemonades, fresh fruit, salads, hummus, yogurt and daily homemade soup. The student-run fall plays will be presented Saturday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m.; the spring musical, Mamma Mia, will be staged in mid-March 2026 with adjusted dates due to a Disney tour. Athletics and student honors: senior Ellie Kim won a sectional title to reach the singles championship in her classification; five juniors received National Merit commendations (Ellie Kim, Faith McAtee, Eli Parker, Anaya Roy and Carter Schramm). The report also promoted trunk-or-treat (date in October; specific day not specified in presentation), Start With Hello week (Sept. 22—26) led by Sandy Hook Promise to reduce social isolation, Do No Harm week sponsored by the diversity club in October to promote inclusion, Red Ribbon Week in October for drug-prevention awareness, and Instant Decision Day for seniors on Oct. 23. Why it matters: the report assembled multiple student-focused calendar items, program changes and student achievements that affect families and school planning. The student representatives encouraged attendance and participation and noted how clubs and student leaders are organizing many activities. Limits: the trunk-or-treat date was announced without a specific calendar date in the transcript. No budgetary figures were presented for the Hilltop Cafe or performing-arts productions at the meeting; logistical details (permits, staffing, or vendor contracts) were not discussed publicly.
