II) STATE MANDATED ONLINE CONCUSSION EDUCATION COURSE LINK:
HighSchoolSports.net has shifted to USATodayHSS.com, however, the site is not currently working. Due to major glitches in their system, we are recommending all athletes and families use the following link to access NHS team schedules and event information: www.schedulestar.com. Enter in Needham in the search box (middle of page), than click SEASON, then use drop down menu for SPORTS, LEVEL, GENDER.
Photo's provided by Dave Arnold Photography (paid for by the Boosters Club) are hung outside the Athletic office, if you have not seen our gallary, please feel free to come by and take a look. While we cannot accept parent recommendations for wall photos, even of athletes from other families, the photographer, Dave Arnold, has created a very impressive online gallery of Needham HS athlete shots (including albums of a number of NHS girls soccer games) on his website at www.davearnoldphotography.com.
Please feel free to pass this information on to other families of athletes and let them know to contact Dave if they should have any questions about a particular shot or groups of shots.
Once we remove photos from the wall they are also available for the families to buy for a reduced rate of $20 which goes back to the Boosters Club to help pay for future photos for the wall.
