North Central High School

Congratulations Tennis!

During our E-learning day yesterday, Biology teachers made "Elephant p**p" to go along with our Africa Unit. Students today are removing seeds from the p**p and from regular soil to see how being partially digested helps them grow. Students will then connect this to how seeds grow and what conditions are necessary for that growth.

Reminder: All Washington Township Schools are conducting an eLearning Day tomorrow, Wednesday, September 18.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are proud to highlight The Honorable Mario Garcia, a trailblazing alumnus whose journey from North Central High School to the judiciary embodies both excellence and dedication. Appointed as a judge in 2021, he credits NCHS for the opportunities to build his personal and academic success. Click the link below to meet this amazing alum!

For this week's teacher spotlight, we'd like to introduce you to Mr. Hodson, one of our amazing instructors within the social studies department!! 🧑🏼‍🏫📚❤️🖤

Very proud of our Modern Apprenticeship Program and Staff at NC for the work they are doing to help our students find success!

Through our partnership school safety grant with the Central Indiana Education Service Center, NCHS was pleased to welcome Rachel’s Challenge to talk to students about school safety and the importance of instilling a culture of kindness and compassion in all teaching and learning spaces. Students participated in-person in the auditorium and virtually via Zoom, and a small group of student leaders were able to attend a private seminar with the Rachel’s Challenge presenter to discuss change in education and improving NCHS for future generations of Panthers! 🐾🖤❤️

Today, teachers kicked off their day with a celebration of their professional peers and a commitment to charity, showing that education and compassion go hand in hand!! 🥰💯🖤❤️

NC Students with Earth Club cleaned up the NC woods today.

A huge congratulations to NC Theater 🎭 for their outstanding fall play, Antigone!

We couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve accomplished 💯🖤❤️

Students in our ENL classes get one on one time with their teacher to go over math problems, practice their English by asking each other questions, and learn about plurals.

Take a look behind the scenes at WTSF! ⁠
⁠
Our Foundation Fellows and North Central High School Black Student Union leaders are working together to bring an interrupting racism and anti-bias training opportunity to North Central students. Earlier this month, they met with Youth Against Racial Injustice (YARI) members to learn about training opportunities, and to brainstorm the best way to engage the North Central community. ⁠
⁠
A big thank you to our donors for making opportunities like this possible!⁠
Stay tuned to see how they bring their work to fruition later this semester. Click the here to learn more about YARI: https://www.childadvocates.net/youth-against-racial-injustice/

Thanks to all the enthusiastic families and dedicated teachers who made the 2024-25 Back To School Night a success!! 🐾❤️🖤

Sometimes, being a Panther means dressing up like a cowboy, cheering at the top of your lungs, and showing there's no better place to be than NCHS 🤠🏈❤️🖤

NCHS Students enjoy music, games, and more ahead of the first home football game of the 2024 season 🏈🖤❤️

On June 29, 2024, at the Ivy Tech Culinary and Conference Center, The Modern Apprenticeship Program operated by EmployIndy held their annual 2024 Signing Day event. The event was held to recognize the first set of participating students, (Cohort 1 and Class of 2023) for completing their 3-year apprenticeship commitment which included working their Junior year, Senior year and 1 year after graduation. Our very own NC graduate of Cohort 2 and Class of 2024, Carolyn Talley, gave the opening remarks.
MAP Signing Day also welcomed the new Cohort 4 apprentices who officially started their apprenticeship Fall 2024.
