The "Axe and Sword" Award was instituted in December of 2008 as a way for teachers and staff of NHS to support each other and to recognize the efforts of others who "go the extra mile". The teachers and staff recognized with this traveling trophy have been singled out by their peers for their continual effort to make NHS a great place to work and to learn. The award was made by a staff member during the fall of 2008 and will be displayed in the room of each winner until it is time to pass it on to another deserving person (the current holder gets to pick the next winner). At the end of each school year the names of all the awardees (in chronological order) will be engraved onto a base and added to the bottom of the trophy - making the trophy grow in prestige and tradition with each year. Please join us in congratulating the NHS Axe and Sword Award winners!
