 North Hills High School received eight Gene Kelly Award nominations for its spring musical "Once Upon a Mattress."
The best actor and best actress winners will represent Pittsburgh at the Jimmy Awards in June. About the Gene Kelly Awards The Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theater were launched in 1991 as a means to recognize and encourage student achievement and to focus the attention of the community and school districts on the importance of musical theater and arts education. Patterned after Broadway’s Tony Awards, this event celebrates the power of the Arts to significantly improve all areas of education! High school theater programs are the real winners as show business veterans and community celebrities help to spread the word about the achievements of high school students and their school's musical theater programs. Over the past 21 years, Gene Kelly Award winners have gone on to Broadway and Hollywood careers. The Gene Kelly Awards are presented by Pittsburgh CLO, the HRH Foundation, and the Michael J. Kara Family, with additional support from The Gismondi Family Foundation, Deloitte, PNC, Highmark, and the CLO Ambassadors. View the complete list of 2022 nominees here.

Senior choir members will also be recognized and sent off in music. 7:00PM in the High School Auditorium!
We have 22 seniors graduating from the choral program this year! To honor them, the choral parents have organized a senior banquet with a catered dinner to be held on Monday, May 16, 2022 at 6:30PM in the High School Cafeteria. Each senior will be recognized and given a plaque, and a slideshow will be shared.
The banquet is open to all choir families. Cost is $15 per person to cover the caterer and to allow each senior to attend for free. We need to get a count to the caterer by May 11, so please RSVP and pay for your ticket online ASAP! Thanks, and we hope to see you there! Info for Senior Recognition To make sure that Mr. Cloonan has the correct information when announcing each choir senior, please complete the following Google Form ASAP listing the number of years you have been in the choral program and what your post-high school plans are. As part of the banquet, Mr. Cloonan puts together a slide show featuring each senior. To make it a little more interesting, we like to show a baby or younger photo first, then the current photo to see if people can figure out who the student is. Please complete this form by FRIDAY, MAY 13 to give him the weekend to work on the slide show.
