North Highlights

Hello North,

It's been a busy few weeks as our students have been involved in many incredible activities! The musical was an absolute success, and we want to congratulate our musicians, performers, stage crew, and directors for their hard work and dedication.

Last week, our DECA team competed at the state competition, and we're excited to share that several of our students have qualified for the national competition taking place in late April. Congratulations and good luck to them! We also want to wish our Science Olympiad team the best of luck as they prepare for the state competition later this month.

Spring sports begin on Monday! We’re looking forward to cheering on our athletes as they kick off the season. Best of luck to all of our teams!

Go Spartans!

Andrew Bowen

Principal
