Principal's Message

July 2026

Dear North High Parents and Guardians,

I am so excited to welcome you all to the 2026-2027 school year at North High School. My name is Jodi Shuppert, and I am honored to be starting my fourth year as the principal of this historic school. We strive to honor the rich history and traditions that are a part of our legacy here while forging new paths that provide opportunities for all students to succeed.

My vision for North High is that we are a community made up of staff, students, and parents who choose to believe that ALL students can learn and work tirelessly together to ensure that learning takes place. For this vision to become a reality, it is imperative that we partner with you, our families, in the education of your students. We need your support, and we want you to know that we are here for you and your students. There are many ways to get involved as a parent at North High. You can join School Site Council, become a member of our booster club, or participate in any of the amazing events offered by our Parent Center throughout the year.

We offer a wide range of academic, athletic, and club programs and activities, and I am confident that every student can find something at North High to get involved in. We have rigorous academic courses that prepare students for college and a variety of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that prepare students for the workforce. No matter the path they choose, we believe that students should graduate high school with a clear plan and be prepared to succeed.

In addition to preparing students academically and with job skills, we teach our students the five pillars of STARS on Point: Success, Trust, Ambition, Respect, and Spirit. If students embody these five core values, my hope is that they will leave North High, be positive contributors to their community, and leave the world better than they found it. I tell our students that they should strive to be STARS on Point both on campus and in their lives outside of school. These are qualities that will set them up for a positive life experience.

At North High, we are committed to creating a school environment where every student feels connected, challenged, and supported. Whether students are entering our campus for the first time as freshmen or preparing for graduation as seniors, our goal is to ensure that each student has meaningful opportunities to grow academically, socially, and personally.

Thank you for trusting us to educate your child. It is a responsibility that we do not take lightly, and I am looking forward to partnering with you in the coming year to ensure a positive experience for your student. 2026-2027 is going to be a year filled with learning, growth, and success for North High!

Go Stars!

Jodi Shuppert, Ed.D.
