The best parts are definitely the amount of choices you have with clubs, sports, and classes. The administration this year have been a lot with being stricter but not for the better. Seniors are getting more opportunities to be college ready but you have to pry it out of the counselors for colleges outside of Alaska.

Graduating in December of 2019, I look back on my time at North Pole High. I am forever grateful for thee teachers and staff that always went out of their way to make sure I received the best kind of education. At North Pole High I was able to build life-long connections with people and learn important life skills that I will carry for the rest of my life.

Most teachers only are power hungry and get mad at kids uncontrollably falling asleep in their class because they can’t sleep at home. If they try to...
