Anti-Racist Statement:  The actions and practices of the staff at North High School have not always worked to the benefit of all students and staff, especially those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.  We will continually check, change, and eliminate existing policies, practices, and curriculum to ensure anti-racist outcomes.

Accountability:  Your criticism can be an effective tool in illuminating how we are falling short of actualizing our mission. Thank you for being a source of accountability. Submit anonymous concerns here.
