Welcome to North High School!
At North High, teachers and staff come to school every day to make a difference in the community. We believe that there is a better way to educate students and work to ensure that each one is exposed to tasks and instructions that are authentic and meaningful. Students deserve educational experiences that center around high-quality learning. Those criteria are the construction of knowledge, disciplined inquiry, and value beyond school. We also understand that education and learning is a journey that can look different and feel different for everyone – students, staff, and parents.
North High School is the largest comprehensive high school in Sioux City. Our student population tops 1,600 students and is one of the most diverse populations in the state. Students in our halls speak fifteen different languages and are represented by more than ten Native American Tribes. Students at North High School are also academically successful. North High routinely has students named through the National Merit Scholarship program and has made the Iowa AP Index for multiple years.
Numerous activities are also available for our students to participate in each year. From music to athletics, students have a variety of options to find their “niche” in high school. Activity involvement is encouraged and promoted, and our goal is to continue to grow each program and build upon successes.
