I have been blessed to meet so many amazing people in my life. Some of them are friends I talk to on a daily basis and others are contacts I keep in my phone who receive a “happy birthday” text once a year.

I knew the process of going to college was somewhat of a chore, but I did not quite expect all that has already transpired. A college search and ultimate application was a long process that both went better then what I expected and was more overwhelming then I could have imagined. 

Here at the Nav, we love to highlight classes, teachers, events, and even students! Needless to say, the Navigator cherishes the stories of the people of NSA. This year, we want to highlight the class of 2026. These seniors have spent countless hours doing school, volunteering, participating in sports, and being active parts of their community.

Personally, I love Christmas music. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I start playing my holiday songs as I do my homework. Because we all enjoy it so much, debates frequently erupt with my family over what is the best Christmas music.

If you are ready for a new puzzling challenge, check out the Navigator Crossword Puzzle below, which was created by a member of the Navigator staff. Below the Crossword Puzzle is the set of questions you are trying to answer using the articles in our December 2025 Publication.

It is easy to assume that students at an online school spend more time typing and calling rather than kicking soccer balls or jogging around a running track. However, here at NorthStar, that is not the case. After sending out a form and collecting responses, I discovered that our school has a very vibrant and active athletic spirit.

As fall is now well under way, so are the clubs! There are now several clubs available for NorthStar students to join, including the Board Game Club, Gaming Club, Book Club, Missions Club, and Creative Writing Club, and more are expected to open soon.

The Navigator has written many advice articles over the years. Just last month, one of our writers collected advice from NSA seniors in an article titled Advice to Freshman.
