CELEBRATIONS🎉
Congratulations on a Wonderful Mental Health Night!
We are proud to celebrate the tremendous success of our recent Mental Health Night! This special evening brought our community together in meaningful conversation, learning, and support for one another’s well-being.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our students, who conducted themselves in a manner that made North High School proud. Your maturity, respect, leadership, and willingness to participate thoughtfully did not go unnoticed. You represented our school with integrity and compassion, helping to create a welcoming and impactful event for all who attended.
We are grateful to everyone who helped make the evening such a success and look forward to continuing these important conversations together. Here is short video from North and West student put together in supporting the evening.

📱 Phone Free February – Current Standings Update!
In conjunction with OASD and the “Look Up, Oshkosh! The SMART Social Project,” February has brought an exciting initiative to Oshkosh North led by our Spartan PRIDE Student Committee — Phone Free February!
This friendly competition encourages students to limit cell phone use during the school day and focus on learning, responsibility, and living the Spartan Way.
Rather than simply counting referrals, this challenge is all about growth and improvement. Each grade level is working to reduce its number of cell phone referrals compared to January. The winner will be the grade that shows the greatest percentage decrease from January to February.

1st place: Seniors
2nd place: Juniors
3rd place: Freshman
4th place: Sophomores

📣 Message from the Booster Club
Concession Stand Volunteers Needed
The Oshkosh North Booster Club is looking for parent and student volunteers to help staff the concession stand at upcoming events. The Booster Club plays a vital role in supporting Oshkosh North athletics and activities by helping fund equipment, uniforms, team needs, and special opportunities for our students. The concession stand is one of the biggest ways they make that support possible, and they can’t do it without volunteers. Parents are encouraged to help, and students are also welcome to volunteer. Please consider signing up to support our Spartan community at the link below. If your student participates in a sport, please add their sport after your name when signing up.
