Principal's Message

Hello Wolfpack!

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year. We are looking forward to seeing all our returning students and want to extend a warm welcome to our new students.

Our vision and mission remain steadfast: every student, every day.

Every student, every day believes they belong at NC.
Every student, every day is challenged by new learning and experiences.
Every student, every day is prepared for their personal success story.

Encourage your student to get involved. One way to get involved is to attend events. Take a look at the weekly calendar to ensure that you don’t miss out.

The strength of the Wolf is in the Pack!

Unite the Pack

North Central High School is excited to host our first feeder pattern event on Wednesday, September 13, from 5:30 - 7:00PM. Please mark your calendars for this free event.

Functional Items

Dance Expectations

Our first dance of the year will be the Homecoming Dance on Friday, October 6, from 8pm-11pm. In order to be eligible to attend dances, an NCHS Dance Expectations form is required to purchase a ticket. Attendance, grades, and discipline are all taken into consideration. This year we are including student fines. When students go to the Business Office to purchase a ticket, these items will be taken into consideration.

Schedule Change Requests

The counselors are back in the building and have hit the ground running! Schedule change requests for existing students can be emailed to the counselor by Wednesday August 23rd for consideration. The counselors will do their best but cannot accommodate all requests. Please only send change requests that are a glaring issue in your schedule such as a missing course, or you have a course you have already taken in your schedule. New registration will start Thursday August 24th at 8:00am and run through the start of the school year. We look forward to seeing you back on Tuesday September 5th!

High School Busing

There should not be a scenario where youth 18 and under are turned away from the bus. Access is straight forward:

Rider's Liscenses (13-18 years old) can be obtained by calling customer service at (509)328-7433, going to the Plaza, or applying online.
Passes SPS high school students received last year are still active.
Student ID 9from any school). If the youth does not yet have a Riders Liscense or joint SPS card, they can show the driver their current school ID and ride.
A student who does not have a passor student ID is welcome to board the bus by telling the operator they are youth who qualify for zero-fare.
