Super Volcano?

What is a super volcano?

National Geographic has an article about Yellowstone National Park, explaining a fear that geologists have about a volcanic eruption of the largest kind.

What do you think? Could it happen? How could we reduce the destruction from such an eruption?

Here is a recent story from CBS.

Are there any other supervolcanoes? Yes. There is one in Sumatra called Mt Toba.

North High School Website

Take the time to scout about through the website for North High School before you enroll there in the fall. Learn about what activities are available for you. Try new sports/activities and find out what gifts & talents you have that you didn't know you could do. Become familiar with where to find information. You will be referencing this page for YEARS to come!

Let's begin....

Tsunami 2004

We have finished watching the video(s) about the tsunami occurred during December 2004. There are many life lessons to be learned from this sad event.

Always be observant of your surroundings. Don't take for granted what you have today, because it can easily be gone tomorrow.

Scheduling Class for Fall 2014 / Open House

Today students selected their classes for the first year of high school. Classes will not be confirmed until parents sign the forecasting paper. This paper that students filled out is being held at North High School.

North is hosting an open house next Tuesday (2/25) from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Go and meet your teachers for next year. Find out what you will be doing in the classes you selected. This is a great opportunity to ask now what to expect for the school year.

PARENTS: Your signature is required on the blue slip (class forecasting) before your child's selections will be finalized.

You are being to select your future. Choose classes that will open doors of opportunity for you. :)

Spring Break Quake 1993

Oregon is NOT immune to earthquakes. On March 25, 1993, Oregon registered a 5.6 magnitude earthquake (Mercalli intensity scale) that occurred at 5:34 AM. It was given the title "Scotts Mills". Visit this page to read more information about it. It happened as a result of a reverse fault that is referred to  in this article or with pictures and greater detail in this article.
