We also recognize those students who make it their job to attend all of their classes with our Quarter 2 Perfect Attendance recognition. The students are nominated by the Faculty and Staff here at NAS and are presented in front of their peers, as well as the NAS-NM Governing Council. The Q2 Scholars Night will start at 6 pm.
