NACHS has grown and will continue to grow. Since its establishment in 1931 the high school has expanded its facilities to provide not only an academic curriculum but also one which includes subjects leading to a vocational career. Twenty years later a cafeteria was built to provide hot lunches for the students. In 1953 another big step was taken — the agriculture and home economics programs were improved and enlarged and a completely equipped industrial arts department was added. This past year NACHS once more moved ahead with the addition of modern band and practice rooms for the music department and a larger gymnasium which includes the most up-to-date athletic facilities. NACHS, seen through the row of sturdy maples, represents the growth of education in the community. 4
