North Community High School

From Surviving to Thriving!

Established in Minneapolis’s Near North neighborhood in 1888, North Community’s “Polar Pride” runs deep in current students and alumni. North provides a high-quality high school education with Advanced Placement (AP) and College in the Schools (CIS), as well as classes in music, visual arts, radio, and dance. With strong athletic programming, North competes annually in State Football and Basketball championships. North is the future home of the North Career and Technical Education Center, offering real-world skills in engineering, computer science, information technology, robotics, and web and digital communications. The school also houses KBEM, the student-run jazz station that serves as the Twin Cities’s public radio voice for jazz and education.
