Principal's Message

Dear Nord Families,

I hope to see many of you on Thursday, October 27th at 6:30 pm when the Harlem Wizards come to town! The Powers, Nord, and AJH PTOs are hosting this community event at Steele High School which is sure to be a great time for the whole family. Please take a moment to view this promotional video and buy tickets here.

Several Nord staff members are playing on the Powerful Comets this year. Mr. Korek, Mr. Karnik, Mr. Matakovich, and Mrs. Mendez are all playing for the Powerful Comets and need the support of our Nord families! I will join in on the fun as a referee and can't wait for this fun-filled evening!!

Please do not hesitate to contact your child's teachers or me with any questions, comments, or concerns. My direct phone number is 440-988-1637 and my email is ashley_harigan@amherstk12.org.

Go Comets,

Mrs. Harigan
