Incoming 9th Graders Welcomed at North Shore High School

On Thursday, August 27, 2026, the high school principals along with guidance counselors, faculty, and staff warmly welcomed the Freshman Class of 2026-27 to North Shore High School.

To begin orientation, the Peer Leaders and administrators happily greeted approximately 222 incoming freshmen. The Peer Educators Club (Peer Leaders) led small group tours of the building and classrooms, discussed schedules, held fun break-the-ice games, opened lockers, and answered any questions or concerns to help make their transition to high school easier.

It was wonderful to see students once again in our schools, as the incoming freshman class was eager to reunite with their friends from the middle school. Additionally, at 7 PM parents and guardians listened to an introductory presentation about North Shore High School.

To conclude the orientation, the HS PTO treated the freshmen to cold Italian ices outside in the courtyard! Many thanks to the HS PTO, administration, counselors, and Peer Leaders for all their assistance during the orientation. Best of luck to the graduating Class of 2030 during your high school years!
