Homecoming is a week where our student body comes together to build memories, show school pride, and celebrate our school community. With spirit days, a pep rally, and evening events on the horizon, we want to remind all students and families about keeping our traditions positive, safe, and inclusive.
Informal student traditions like "Junior/Senior Wars" or off-campus pranks have occasionally emerged around Homecoming. We strongly discourage any unsupervised off-campus activities or pranks as they can quickly escalate, lead to safety hazards, or unintentionally cause property damage. Actions taken off campus that impact students, staff, or community members—or that trickle into the school day—are subject to school disciplinary policies and potential law enforcement involvement if safety or laws are compromised. We ask parents and guardians to speak with your students about making smart choices, respecting community spaces, and looking out for one another.
Our goal is for every student to enjoy a fun, memorable, and safe Homecoming Week. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our spirit high and our community safe! Go Grizzlies!!!!

It's a great tool for career exploration, and students interested in the military can choose to share their scores with recruiters. (COST - FREE)
EVERY DAY MATTERS...we miss our Grizzlies when they are not in attendance! Our attendance secretary at NPHS is Mrs. Krista Anderson. If you are needing to contact her about an absence, please email attendance.northpoint@wsdr4.org or call her at 636-445-5344 ext. 29223. We have a kiosk outside the attendance office for signing your student in and out of school. You will need to download the Focus App, then login and click on the teal barcode in order to scan your student in and out of school.
Please note that signing your student out during WIN Time (lunch) DOES count against their attendance. We do NOT have an open campus during lunch for students to leave. If you need to sign your student out during this time, please try to contact the attendance office ahead of time as students are not able to use their phones during the school day.
North Point High School CLASS OF 2027 will graduate at the Family Arena in St. Charles on Sunday, June 6 at 12:30 PM. We are excited to celebrate our seniors and look forward to seeing everyone there! All are welcome!

In order to walk at graduation on Sunday, June 6, seniors must attend Graduation Practice at NPHS on Wednesday, June 2 from 1 pm - 3 pm. Please MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!
