In addition to the improvements made to the spaces in our school, many curriculum projects in various departments have been taking place, including some exciting new electives in Business and social studies courses.  Teachers have taken time to develop and revise curricula in an effort to ensure it challenges and inspires students.

As the year begins, I again express my sincere dedication to the continuous growth and development of North Shore High School. I very much appreciated and enjoyed working with and getting to know the students and the community and I am genuinely looking forward to the upcoming school year. Along with Assistant Principals, Ms. Jennifer Imperiale and Dr. Kevin Kurrus I wish to extend our open door policy to each and every family. Feel free to make an appointment to meet with us if the need arises. Your feedback is essential to our growth.
