Extended Learning Schedule Presentation
High School will be moving to a 4x4 extended learning schedule. This will have four classes on one day (A day- periods 1, 3, 5 and 7) and the remaining four classes on the following day (B day- periods 2, 4, 6 and 8). Each class will be approximately 80 minutes in length.
The HS will also be transitioning to one lunch period. During the lunch time, there will be two separate opportunity periods that students can sign up for the scheduled activities. Providing structured activities at the first half and second half of the lunch period will naturally create two separate lunch periods. Lunch will be served for this entire period.
There will be a presentation on these changes at 6:00 pm on May 29 in the High School Main Cafeteria. This will be right before the choral concert, you are welcome to stay for the show.
Fall Sports
Registration is now open for all incoming 9th-12th grade students in the 2024-25 school year who will be participating in a fall sport.

Seniors during H/PE classes, LIFE, PEER
Arrive Alive Tour is a driving simulator company that will come to the school and offer seniors the opportunity to drive an actual vehicle that is outfitted to be a simulator and replicate driving drunk, high, or distracted driving. Students drive for 2 minutes and experience the chosen type of driving. Following their experience behind the wheel, seniors are issued a "citation" to see what that experience is like as well.

Northern’s Driving School is open year-round for Northern students as well as other local high school students. We offer after-school, weekend, and summertime lessons for your student to obtain their Learner’s Permit, get some extra hours of driving practice, or take their Road Test.
