NGHS policy for posting comments:

 The Black and Red staff invites all readers to respond to articles via the comment tool. It is our goal that the online newspaper be used as an avenue for  2-way communication within our school and community. We do value the opinions and feedback of our readers, and as a courtesy to everyone involved, we must insist that all comments are of appropriate content, and that any criticism  be directed at the articles, not the authors of the articles. Thank you for reading and responding. Enjoy.
