Four NHS students were sponsored by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department to participate in the Marine Corp Devil's Pups program last summer. All four students, Erin Breaux, Ryly Payson, Isidro Ramirez and Dawsen Yeager completed the course successfully! Thank you to Deputy Valdez and the Needles station of the SB County Sheriff's Department for your support of our students! Thank you to the City of Needles Council for recognizing our students' achievement.

Norma Bunton was recognized by the Needles Unified School District and the Needles Chamber of Commerce as the Educator of the Year. Dr. McNeil, Superintendent, believes that all District employees are educators in their own way to make a difference for our students. "Norma is the first person that her students see on the bus each morning and the last smile they get as she drops them off at home at night", says Dr. McNeil. Norma is a graduate of Needles HS and still plays with students in the local Bluenotes Band. "As a bus driver in the Needles Unified School District, she has made a difference for our students each and every day!" The Needles Unified School District is PROUD of Norma Bunton and congratulates her on this award.

Needles Unified School District will provide free breakfast and lunch to all students who are enrolled.
