New American Flag in the NAMS Gym
When we recognized that we needed a flag in the NAMS gym, Superintendent Gilligan was quick to respond by donating a very special flag to our gym. This flag was flown over the United States Capitol on October 5, 2015 at the request of Honorable Niki Tsongas, Member of Congress.  This flag was flown for Gregg Gilligan, for exemplary Patriotism and Dedication to the Education of Future Leaders in the Majesty and Meaning of America.
