First quarter: Been there, done that! With second quarter already underway, we thought it would be fun to recap some of North's celebrations with photos taken by our photography staff. Enjoy, and be on the lookout for our photographers in second quarter!
Fall 2022 Spirit Week
This year, Clarkstown North’s spirit week made an incredible return with many new themes like “Adam Sandler Day,” as well as the classics like “Color Wars” and “Pajama Day.” Students of all grades did a fantastic job dressing up for our variety of themes and ended the week with a “Purple and Gold” theme for the Pep Rally. Along with the students, teachers also blew us away with their festive attire.
Spirit Week Round-Up
On Monday, students arrived at school in their most comfortable sleeping clothes for “Pajama Day,” rolling straight out of bed and into the first day of spirit week.

Halloween at North 2022
Going All Out For Halloween
Halloween was once again a success at Clarkstown North! This year, many faculty members and students went all out with their creative, funny, and scary costumes. Many teachers were involved in this fun day, giving out candy or dressing up as characters from movies and TV shows. Throughout the day, multiple characters of the series The Office graced classrooms and hallways, and bees, vampires, and many other creative costumes made the holiday interesting and fun!
