Volleyball Advances to District Semifinals
The volleyball team swept Montgomery County in three sets, securing a spot in the district semifinals. They will face Linn on Thursday as they continue their postseason run.
Through the first quarter, NCR-1 is on its way to meeting its ambitious student attendance goal of 90% or higher as a District. We know it takes dedication on behalf of our students, families, bus drivers, teachers, and principals to help get students to school. Let's keep it going, Thunderbirds!
Softball Final Score Update:
Our softball team fell to Montgomery County tonight in the district semifinals, 2-0. With that, our season comes to an end.
While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, we couldn’t be prouder of this group. From the first pitch of the season to the final out tonight, our team showed heart, hustle, and determination. They’ve represented our school and community with pride every step of the way.
Thank you to our seniors for your leadership, to our coaching staff for your guidance, and to our fans for the incredible support all season long.
