Northern is a great High School. People have always said it dangerous and you don't learn, they don't know what they're talking about. You get out of school what you decide to put in. We have a great faculty and great social environment.

I wouldn't be the person I am today without the staff, students, or resources that this school gave me. I was able to become a better friend, leader, peer, mentor, and overall grow my character through my high school experience. Having my senior year cut short halted my final moments with Northern. But having that time apart made me grow to appreciate the years I spent there even more.

What I liked about northern is it's different from my other school .you can make a lot of friends & friendships with the teachers to feel comfortable.the school is also not that hard so you can have a chance to graduate

I would like to state how impressed I have been with Northern High School. As the parent of a 9th grader, it was a quite intimidating to move to high school. The freshman orientation that was held prior to school starting and the abundance of communication received from administration has made this...
