Field Hockey Fans,
On November 12 at 2 pm, Newton will host Madison in the state sectional field hockey championship.
We ask that you purchase your tickets in advance via the link below. Your electronic ticket will be scanned at our gate.
We would also like to remind you that pets/dogs are not allowed at Newton public schools.

Students from both Madison HS and Newton HS will be complimentary for this round/state sectional final, but will not be complimentary at the state championship.
Good Luck to both squads!
