Raider Nation News 2026
September 2026
Raider Families:
What an active and exciting September we have had at North Forsyth High School! Our Raiders have been busy, and we have accomplished so much already this school year.
Our classrooms have been filled with learning as students and teachers have worked diligently on the standards and skills that will help our students demonstrate mastery of the content on their upcoming midterms. We are proud of the effort our students are putting into their learning each day.
Outside the classroom, our athletic teams have celebrated some great wins, and we continue to see our Raider Pride shine brightly in both our wins and our losses. We are proud of the way our students represent North Forsyth and the commitment, teamwork, and spirit they bring to everything they do.
There are so many terrific things happening. We hope our students are finding ways to get involved, engage in their learning and activities, build friendships, and, most importantly, have fun as they experience high school. These are the years when students create memories and connections that will stay with them for years to come.
When we return from fall break, we will jump right into one of our favorite traditions—Homecoming Week! We have several exciting opportunities planned for our students to get involved and celebrate being a Raider:
Wednesday: Homecoming Parade
Thursday: Powder Puff
Friday: Pep Rally and Homecoming Game
Saturday: Homecoming Dance
We look forward to this special tradition every year and cannot wait to provide our students with opportunities to make lasting high school memories with their friends and classmates.
As you head into fall break, we hope you and your family have a wonderful, restful, and safe break. We look forward to welcoming your student back to school on October 5th as we kick off Homecoming Week!
We also want to highlight an important attendance date: Tuesday, October 6th. Please make sure your student is here and in attendance for all classes that day. We have some fun things planned, and we want every student to be able to participate!
As always, thank you for allowing us the privilege of working with and teaching your student. We are grateful for your partnership and support of North Forsyth High School. It is an honor to be part of your student's high school journey, and we look forward to all that is still ahead this year.
Have a wonderful and safe fall break, Raiders!
With Raider Pride,
Work Hard. Be Kind. Have Fun!
Go Raiders!
Carrie MacAllaster, NFHS Principal
