North Atlanta
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
North Atlanta High School is a high school of approximately 1,300 students in Buckhead, an upscale area of Atlanta, Georgia. The school is a part of Atlanta Public Schools. The school was formed after North Fulton High School combined with North Side High School in 1994. The school has two magnet schools: one consisting of a performing arts program and one geared toward international studies. Students in the 11th and 12th grade have the option of studying in the IB, International Baccalaureate program.
The 2005-06 school year marks the start of the end of the performing arts magnet at North Atlanta. All new students wishing to participate in the performing arts magnet will attend a different school. Another change this school year will be new principal Scott Bursmith. Sutton Middle School is the main feeder school for North Atlanta High School. North Atlanta High School has a strict dress code that requires collared shirts and non-denim bottoms. The dress code began in fall 2006.
North Atlanta High School has many athletic and academic organizations. The school has a basketball team, soccer team, football team, tennis team, cross country team, track team, softball team, and a baseball team as well as other athletic organizations including a golf club and a swimming team.
The academic organizations are just as numerous, and include a Quiz Bowl team, Model UN association, Earth club, Math club, Student Government Association, Science club, Computer club, Guitar club, Photography Club, a short lived Robotics club, and various language clubs.
