New Smyrna Beach Christmas Parade
December 1, 2018 - NSBHS participated in the annual parade. The parade route was at the NSB Waterfront Loop from Flagler Avenue to Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach. Marching bands, decorated floats, dancers and even troupes of horses traveled the Canal Street Historic District in New Smyrna Beach to bring the "Lights and Sounds of Christmas" to the beautiful seaside town.
Paradise Power Sports in New Smyrna Beach donated the customization and design of our school logo on one of our golf carts.
Paradise Power Sports is also giving back a portion of their profits to different businesses each quarter. They have selected our Athletic Program to be their first recipient!
We are very appreciate of their partnership!
