This is a tremendous honor for our school, and we are excited to begin preparing our students for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. More details about the project, timeline, and ways our school and community can get involved will be coming soon. Stay tuned!

The 2025-26 Boys Varsity Basketball team hosted a ring ceremony to commemorate the team's historic state championship. This win is the first ever state championship for boys basketball in school history! ACPSD representatives, local news outlets, families, and some key members of the NAHS community were all in attendance. TrueNorth Church lead pastor and long time North Augustan, Steve Davis, was the guest speaker.
The evening began with a Pre-Ceremony followed by the Opening. Guests then enjoyed a Dinner Reception with some amazing food catered by local event catering expert Ken Monroe and his company, Food Thyme. Recognitions took place immediately afterwards, followed by the highlight of the night - the Ring Presentation. The event concluded with the Closing Ceremony, in which the players performed the school's Alma mater together as a team one last time.
The team extends it's deepest gratitude to everyone for their support. *nahsyellowjackets

Over the summer, Skye Oduaran and Cecelia Palladino from ASA, worked with Dr. "Kenzyme" Roberts at USC Aiken as part of a paid research opportunity. They worked with the enzyme 2,4'-dihydroxyacetophenone dioxygenase (DAD) and did a recombinant expression of it in E. coli bacteria and harvested it from the cells. It was then purified. The main goal of making the protein stocks was so that there would be plenty for later experiments involving stopped-flow spectroscopy. At the end of the summer, Skye and fellow researcher Cecelia presented their research to other scientists. Great work, Skye!
