The North High School Freshman Center is a
comprehensive transition program for all first-time freshmen. The
Freshman Center implements a school-within-a-school model designed to
help all students achieve at high levels. The unique features of the
Freshman Center ensure a smooth transition from junior high to high
school. The smaller environment of the Freshman Center, combined with a
professional faculty and staff committed to incorporating research-based
best practices, allows for more individualized student attention and
minimizes the opportunity for students to “slip through the cracks.” A
wide range of elective courses, taught throughout the building, allow
students to pursue a variety of interests. The support network provided
by the Freshman Center provides students with needed encouragement while
introducing them to the expectations, possibilities, and
responsibilities of high school.
