Unity With Community!

Northland High School is located in the Northland neighborhood. There is a difference between a neighborhood, and a community. Northland High School is a community, because we all have something in common: Northland Viking students! A community also can be more powerful than a neighborhood, because of its unity (focus/interest/commitment to Northland High School students). There will be a Unity With Community continental breakfast on Thursday, September 28th, at Northland High School; 8:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. Guest speaker will be Devin Deal, Neighborhood Liasion with the Columbus City Neighborhood Program. Please come in for coffee and muffins, and hear what's available for our Northland High School community!

What is PBIS?

PBIS is Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. It is used to reward positive behavior, and is not bribery. Northland High School started using PBIS last school year, and found it to very useful. Students are engaged with its practice, and their opinions are considered. For more information, contact Ms. Tekiesha Goolsby, here at Northland High School. Her email address is: tgoolsby@columbus.k12.oh.us
