NHS graduates were ‘school deep’
Dr. Francisca Kartono, DO Board Certified Dermatologist
Q: How can I calm down my summer acne flare ups and blemishes?

DR. KARTONO’S ANSWER: Summer is a popular time for outdoor activities, family gatherings, and wedding events. With that comes the need to look and feel your best. So, what to do when acne flares up? How can we prevent such flares and how can we rescue quickly when these things happen? Your dermatologist is trained to guide you in treatment of acne flares. The success rate of the treatment of acne depends on several variables: your skin type, skin color, how sensitive you are to drying out, if you have insurance coverage for prescription medications, and how long of a time frame do we have to create improvement? The cornerstone of acne management often requires a combination of daily topicals that are antimicrobials, or retinoids, or exfoliation agents to help unclog the pores and keep them clear. In addition, we can speed up the results by adding optional skin treatments such as facials or chemical peels. To rescue a severe outbreak, sometimes a prescription oral medication or skin injections can help. What always helps is to use a good sunscreen to reduce the duration of your blemishes and hyperpigmentation, and only use oil-free, gentle, fragrance free topicals as part of your skincare routine.

NHS teachers, staff propel students beyond limitations
With the closing of the Northville High School 2021-2022 school year also comes the winding-down of a more than two-year-long pandemic and the promise of a return to the familiar. Given the obstacles surmounted together and the lessons learned along the way, NHS students and staff have begun to reflect upon their appreciation for each other for not only this eventful school year but also for their overall contributions to making the school environment much more meaningful.
In particular, we would like to shine a spotlight on the fabulous and ever-supportive NHS faculty and staff. Forming the backbone of the school, they have fostered a tight-knit community in which students and teachers can depend on and learn from each other, as well as create memories that will last beyond high school.
A common sentiment among students is their gratitude to their teachers and staff for allowing them to reach their full potential.
“Their support is extremely reassuring, helping us achieve our maximum ability, and it’s awesome how kind and driven our staff truly is,” freshman Ritvik Ellendula explained.
This support manifests itself in various ways, from clearing up confusion to writing strong recommendation letters.
“I really appreciate all of the teachers’ [...] willingness to help,” freshman Ansh Shah said. “Any question you ask, they are always willing to spend time during seminar or after school to help you out, and it makes learning a much grander experience.”
Yet, this encouragement is not confined to the classroom. As students pursue their interests and passions through clubs and sports, teachers have stood on the sidelines cheering them on or have involved themselves to provide a more comprehensive learning environment. “NHS staff gives us opportunities to go beyond our limits,” Shah pointed out. “For example, teachers advising clubs or coaching sports help guide students to pursue their passions and learn more outside of classes.”
It’s not just teachers, but also administrative faculty and other staff members who offer incredible support.
Whether it is the persistent pandemic or the urgent struggles with mental health, NHS staff have bravely taken on these obstacles for the better of the entire community.
“Of course, we work to make sure we can help and support as best we can, but the pandemic brought out challenges with that process when everyone had to be at home,” counselor Grace DeVore said.
In other realms, including athletics, faculty members have been just as optimistic about overcoming challenges.
“At times we are challenged in educational athletics with things we can’t control: weather, transportation (bus doesn’t show up), COVID-19, a lack of referees/umpires, etc.,” athletic director Brian Samulski said. “With any challenge the community has been great as they are understanding and patient while we deal with challenges.”
Overall, though, this ability to navigate through and be resilient against any hardships has brought students, families, and the school community closer together.
The following are a few of NHS faculty members’ favorite memories from their time in Northville:
• “It’s just memories of students that have done something well, whether it’s in the academic arena, in the fine and performing arts, or athletic league. When they do something well, just that excitement, that look on their faces.” ~ Mr. Tony Koski, principal
• “While this seems like it’s a cop out answer, it is impossible to pick one favorite memory, I have so many great memories in my 14 years at NHS. Whenever a former student comes back to tell me how successful and happy they are it’s an ultimate highlight.” ~ Mr.
Sean Turner, history teacher
• “My favorite memory is watching my seniors walk across that stage knowing that they made it through all of the obstacles and trials that they overcame in their four years. That’s one of the special moments every time I have with the senior class.” ~
Mrs. Kate Schultz, counselor
• “One of my favorite memories was when I first came to NHS. I attended the pep rally, and the excitement and enthusiasm from our students made me feel like I was in a beautiful school and was so happy to be part of this team!” ~ Mrs. Karla Kennedy, testing coordinator

Northville High School Principal Tony Koski said when he looks back years from now, the thing that will stand out about the Class of 2022 is its resilience and perseverance.
As the graduating seniors began their sophomore year, the world seemed pretty normal. And then everything changed that year as the pandemic raged across the globe and came right here to our doorstop. The next couple years for the Class of 2022 was anything but normal.
The challenges for these students piled up. COVID, having to wear masks, having sports seasons and other activities cancelled, Zoom sessions. The list goes on and on.
So throughout this school year, Koski challenged the seniors with the theme “School Deep.” It is a phrase he often used to spur on the students to give their all and make sure they were committed to the school experience.
Whether it was at the big games, musicals, club activities, prom or just showing up for class and excelling academically, Koski said the more than 620 members of the Class of 2022 passed with flying colors of orange and black.
“You all showed up with spirit and pride no matter what,” he told the graduates at their commencement ceremony on June 5th at USA Hockey Arena. “You showed up with enthusiasm, spirit and class.”
“You were in the arena for some of the most challenging of times, and you still achieved at the very highest of levels – academically, on the stage, on the athletic fields and with your clubs. You did it with grace and grit.”
The ceremony also marked the last one for Superintendent Mary Kay Gallagher, who is retiring June 30. She noted that 239 of the students started kindergarten in Northville Schools, while the rest moved here at some point during their school years. Now matter when they started, though, they will forever be bonded as the 154th Class of Northville High. And Gallagher mentioned the many accomplishments of the class.
The commencement ceremony was the culmination of a busy couple weeks for the graduates, which included the last day of classes where parents showed up to “clap out” the students as they left the building for the last time, followed by prom and a car parade down Six Mile that was well attended by members of the public who came out to cheer on the graduates.
Koski told the graduates it was a wild but memorable ride, one that has prepared them for the next chapter of their lives.
“You lived it and are better for it,” he said.
