The school is pretty old and run down and it's so big that there isn't much of a culture. Sports are good but clubs aren't run great because it's pretty much all on the students.

The school is pretty good. The school is a big building and has a lot of people. Most of the teachers are nice and chill, but others can be a little more strict. Because it's such a big building, I wish that the time in between classes was 5 minutes instead of 4. When going from one side of the school to the other, I'm usually late because of the crowds of people and the long distance. I'm on the girl's soccer team and the coaches are super nice and understanding. You can tell how passionate they are for coaching. North Penn HS is a great school and I like going there.

North Penn does it right. For a school of that size it is incredible the job they do turning kids into pre-adults ready for college or trades.
