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.

Ready to take a walk down memory lane? Send your stories and photos through the form below:

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

Best Regards,

Victor Rivera
