Northern has so much to offer. Our academic programs are very strong and we are able to provide a wide range of courses to meet your interests. As well, we have over one hundred clubs, committees and sports teams. For each club or team, there is a dedicated staff advisor or coach who wants to work with you and help you make the most out of your high school experience at Northern. In addition to your academic pursuits, I encourage you to take part in the co-curricular life of the school.

Remember that each one of you becomes part of the proud history and reputation of Northern.

The teachers, educational assistants, interpreters, guidance counsellors, coaches, caretakers and office staff at Northern are all here to help guide and support you throughout the year. Ask for advice and support when you need it. I hope all of you have a successful and happy school year. In all your endeavours, remember Northern’s song:

“Hail Dear Old Northern”

Adam Marshall

Principal

Northern’s philosophy is to provide students with the opportunity to explore a wide range of programs in order to understand and develop their personal aptitudes to the fullest. We encourage students to participate in many activities both in the school and in the community.

We believe that each student’s personal, intellectual and social growth can be accomplished by a shared interaction with other students, staff and community. Inherent in this process is a commitment by all members of our school community to develop personal self-discipline and a respect for the rights of others.
