We are excited to begin recognizing the hard work of our students. Please be advised that the academic award invitations will be handed out to students by Friday, January 30th. These invitations are for students who will be receiving an award at our upcoming ceremony. For more information regarding the assembly please look under the "news worth repeating" in this newsletter.

Families are invited to attend Oshkosh North High School’s winter musical, Hadestown: Teen Edition, presented February 12, 13, 14, and 15 at The Grand.

Hadestown follows two intertwining love stories—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and immortal King Hades and Persephone—as audiences are taken on a journey to the underworld and back through a haunting retelling of a Greek tragedy. Inspired by classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, the musical explores powerful themes of industry versus nature, doubt versus faith, and fear versus love.

This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and hopeful theatrical experience and features the outstanding talents of Oshkosh North High School students. Don’t miss this special production as our students take the stage for their final musical at The Grand.

🎟 Tickets are available at The Grand Box Office or online.

Please mark your calendars for an extra special event on the court!

The upcoming North/West Basketball Doubleheader on Friday, February 20th, hosted at North, will serve as our official Mental Health Awareness night.

In addition to the excitement of the rivalry games, we will be celebrating the many incredible initiatives our community has launched to support mental health. We are proud to use this platform to highlight these vital resources and show our collective support for student and community well-being.

Stay tuned for more details regarding specific activities and resources in the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing the stands filled with support for both our athletes and this important cause.

Please note that the Academic Awards and Hall of Fame Assembly, which are typically held in April, will take place this year on February 5 due to the Frank Schade Fieldhouse floor project. The assembly will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the fieldhouse.

End-of-first-semester grades must be finalized by January 23. Due to the date being pushed-up there will be a quick turn-around for notification of the awards earned. Parents and students will be notified by January 30 if a student will be receiving an academic award.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the assembly to celebrate and watch their student receive their award.

Academic awards are based on semester GPA and points are awarded using the follow matrics:

SEMESTER GRADE POINT AVERAGE POINTS

3.75 – 4.00 = 3pts

3.50 – 3.74 = 2pts

3.00 – 3.49 = 1pt

At Oshkosh North, we have begun a new awards ceremony to recognize our students who accomplish significant academic growth. The purpose is to recognize those students who have made a “180° turn” by showing at least 0.75 growth on their GPA since last Spring. We want these students to realize that their growth is worth celebrating and encourage them to continue down a positive path.

This year’s 180° Awards will be held on February 5, 2026 at 6:30pm in the Auditorium. During this event, we will celebrate these students’ progress by presenting awards, offering words of encouragement, and featuring a keynote speech from Trina Woldt, Director of Leadership Oshkosh, to inspire both students and families. Our goal is to reinforce their positive momentum and to emphasize that their hard work is recognized and valued
