We Grow Panthers Spotlight

North Central Best Buddies

In case you missed it…
During halftime of a recent NCHS basketball game, our Best Buddies athletes took the court, and one unforgettable moment stole the show! After attempting the same shot several times, a student finally made it, perfectly modeling a never-give-up spirit.

Both home and away crowds erupted in cheers, reminding everyone in the gym that inclusion, perseverance, and encouragement are what truly define Panther pride. Moments like these make our school community stronger. #WeGrowPanthers #WhyWT
