A tribute to Ms. Arlene West
Hello, fellow NAHS Alumni!
It is with a heavy heart that we share news of the passing of a beloved member of the NHS family, Arlene East.
For those of us who walked the halls of NHS and knew Arlene, she was more than just an educator. She was a light in this world, especially in her classroom where literature came alive, and her passion for teaching left an indelible mark on those of us who were lucky enough to be her student, or friend.
As we prepare the upcoming Spring Edition of the Trichter, we want to dedicate a special tribute to her memory and her legacy at Nürnberg American High School. Our deadline to receive your comments is March 15, 2026.
We are asking for your help.
If you had the privilege of being in her class, we want to hear from you. Please send us your favorite memories, kind words, or any anecdotes that capture her spirit as a teacher and a person. How did she impact your life? What made her classroom special? Did she have a favorite phrase? Did she ever stay after class to help you with a paper? Was there a particular book she taught that changed your perspective? Do you have a funny story from her classroom that you still tell to this day?
Let’s come together as a community to ensure that one of our own is remembered with the love and respect she so richly deserves.

If you any difficulties, please let me know, or send your comments to my email address: sage2go@gmail.com

Call for Submissions: Share Your NAHS Story!
Hello, fellow NAHS Alumni!
The crisp fall air always brings back a flood of memories from our days at NAHS. As we put together the upcoming Fall Trichter, we want to fill its pages with your stories—the moments that defined our time there and the memories that still connect us. The submission deadline for the Fall Edition is November 1, 2025.
Do you have a tale from the “good old days” that you still share with friends? We’d love to read it and share it with our NAHS alumni community. Your story could be about…
-
The Teacher Who Made a Difference: Remember that educator who saw your potential, challenged you, or left a lasting impression?
-
Triumphs & Traditions: The electric energy of a championship game, the silliness of a pep rally, or the pride in a unique NAHS tradition.
-
Friendship & Found Family: How a club, sport, or simply hanging out in the cafeteria forged the friendships that have lasted a lifetime.
-
The Hilarious & The Hilariously Embarrassing: That time something went so perfectly wrong it’s now a legendary laugh-out-loud story.
-
Firsts & Lasts: The milestone moments, from the nervous first day to the bittersweet walk at graduation.
Submission Guidelines:
-
Word Count: Stories typically range from a short anecdote (180 words) to a more detailed account (up to 720 words).
-
Photos: Please include any photos you have! They bring your stories to life and are a wonderful addition.
A Quick Note from Your Editor:
My goal is to feature as many of your stories as possible. To make everything fit in the Fall edition, I may need to do some light editing for length and clarity—but I will always work with you to ensure the final piece is one you’re proud of. If we’re unable to include your submission this fall, I will gladly hold it for the Spring edition.
