Welcome to the Project SUCCESS North High Page - GO POLARS!!
Atlanta College Tour 2008
We recently took South, Southwest, and North High students on a great
college tour to Atlanta, GA. Please click on the link below to read
more about this fabulous trip.
North High Field Trip to See The Meeting
 In
February, Project SUCCESS took a group of North High students to attend a
performance of the thought-provoking play, The
Meeting. The play depicted the
hypothetical meeting between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., two
historically significant figures who have shaped American views on peace,
racial justice, and civil rights.
Following the performance, students had a unique opportunity to
participate in a discussion with cast members, Terry Bellamy and Ashford Thomas.
Marc Bamuthi Joseph Leads Special
Workshop!
 In
February, Mrs. Linderg’s class at North High was privileged to have had the
rare opportunity to have Marc Bamuthi Joseph lead them in a Project SUCCESS
workshop. Bamuthi is a National Poetry
Slam champion, Broadway veteran, featured artist on the past two seasons of Russell Simmons' Def Poetry on HBO, and a
recipient of 2002 and 2004 National Performance Network Creation commissions. Bamuthi performed his own spoken word pieces
with movement for the class, and then students were inspired to create their
own poetry based on themes of struggle and self-identity. Students stated the workshop challenged them to
reflect on and evaluate how they identify themselves and their methods of self
expression.
Back for Year Two!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You to the entire North High community for the unconditional support and love that I received regarding my departure. I have grown immensely from being in partnership with all of the students, families, faculty and staff! My experience as a student and a staff member has allowed me to further witness the true beauty of our dear North High. The students challenged me to bring all that I could give and I was humbled by their stories and openness. The faculty and staff’s dedication to students and their journey at North is unmatched and inspired me to “bring all I got!” I want to thank the North community for allowing me to return to be a part of the great work that happens everyday. I will always keep my experiences there dear to my heart. I am always, always a POLAR!
Project SUCCESS at North High
North High is our founding
high school partner. In 1993, Project SUCCESS partnered with the Guthrie
Theater to conduct a post-play discussion of Death of a Salesman with
over 200 North High kids, parents, and teachers. This led to development
of in-class workshops that built on the themes and issued raised in the Death
of a Salesman discussions. These workshops became the springboard for
our program that today reaches over 9,000 students.
Project SUCCESS offers the
following programming at North High:
-In-class, goal-setting
workshops;
-Opportunities for each student and their family to attend between six and twelve
free theater performances at 26 area theaters;
-All school field trips;
-Weekly after-school
workshops; and
-State and national college
tours.
