ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - North Hills High School’s recent production of “Me and My Girl” garnered two nominations Wednesday for the Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theater.

The nominations were for:

• Best actor: Will Huffmyer

• Best all-student orchestra

“North Hills is fortunate to have a robust fine arts program,” said Superintendent Patrick Mannarino. “Each year our director, Glen Richey, and his staff continue to showcase the wonderful talents of our students. We are honored and delighted that they have been recognized for their hard work on this year’s production of ‘Me and My Girl.’ ”
