It was a Great School, and for someone who plays sports and like doing art I had many people ready to help me when I needed them, thanks to North Side High school, I found out something about myself and what I like to do.

North side high school has given me the opportunity to do so many things I didn't even know I wanted to do or even know I would be good at. This school has connected me to all my new friends and old ones along with feeling closer to my mother as she was a student there. This school has also given me the opportunities to learn my passion for the future medical studies. This school community as well is also just amazing and they do so much to make sure we have the best four years here.

My time at NSHS was amazing. I gained a lot of college credit hours. I gained lifetime friends and family, and am glad I choose to go to North Side. Some downsides were some faculty being the janitors were not professional at times and gossiped with students.
