Newton North High School company information, Employees & Contact Information

Newton North is truly a comprehensive high school. While large numbers of very high achieving students take advantage of an extremely rigorous honors and advanced placement program, the large Career and Technical Education school within North offers all students the opportunity to take career and technical education courses as electives or to pursue a major in one of the areas. The school particularly values its commitment to special education and English Language Learner programs. North is the region's high school for deaf and hard of hearing students; it serves more than 100 students with significant physical and emotional disabilities; and it provides services to many students who speak 25 languages other than English. North's commitment to offering a rich extra-curricular life is also widely evident. The opportunities in our theater program are remarkable: eleven shows are produced in ten months (including two major musicals and a full-length Shakespeare production) as well as five student directed plays. Our extensive music program enables vocalists and string, wind, and percussion musicians to perform at their own level in a wide assortment of settings, such as part of the ensemble choral, band and/or orchestra groups. We are proud of our national award winning bi-weekly newspaper and literary magazine, our nationally ranked science and math teams, our College/Career Resource Center, our television studio, our foreign exchange programs and our award winning athletic program, which includes thirty varsity sports teams. There are over 80 clubs and organizations at North with opportunities for community service, cultural awareness, outings and fun, which include such groups as Model UN, Ultimate Frisbee, and one of the first Gay/Straight Alliances in the country. The open campus policy for student in grades 10- 12 offers opportunities for students to learn responsibility and reflects the respect we have for our students.
