2023-2024 - Staff History Heroes
Welcome to our stories. Meet the teachers that are part of Northside history today. We hope you take the time to listen to the advice shared, the work they are proud of and their memories of place and community.
Each staff member below was interviewed by third graders as part of their NES History project. After engaging with many oral histories from the Northside community and the Chapel Hill Nine, 3rd graders took on the role of historian to capture the history being made today -- by teachers making an impact, leaving their mark and making Northside a wonderful place to learn and lead.
