Baccalaureate

The Baccalaureate program for the class of 2012 will be held on Sunday, May 6th at 4:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of Johns Creek Baptist Church. This program is a non-denominational motivational program for all graduates. We are also very appreciative to the church for allowing us the opportunity to use their facilities. There is a small reception held right after the service. The Baccalaureate program is not sponsored by Northview High School or the PTSA and is solely funded by donations. More information will be mailed to the seniors in early 2012.

Senior Treats

The PTSA is celebrating your senior each month of this exciting last year of high school. Once a month the seniors are honored with "Senior Treat Day" during their lunch period. Some of the most enjoyed treats from last year were Chick-Fil-A, Krispy Kreme donuts, Rita’s Italian Ice, brownies, cookies, and ice cream. Senior Treats are funded by PTSA funds and donations from senior parents like you. A donation of $20.00 is requested from all parents, though any amount will be greatly appreciated and accepted. Please make checks payable to Northview H.S. PTSA and either mail it to the address below, or bring it to the front office marked "Attention: Senior Treats." Without your support, we won't be able to continue the celebration throughout the year. Please mail your checks to: Jo Marie Cook, 315 Smoketree Terrace, Johns Creek, GA 30005, Jo Marie Cook - Senior Treats Chair.
