As the summer days slowly give way to the crispness of fall, we find ourselves standing on the threshold of a brand-new school year – a year filled with possibilities, growth, and the indomitable Viking spirit. On behalf of the entire North Branch Area High School community, it is my pleasure to extend a resounding welcome back to all our students and families.

The halls of our school have been quiet for a while, but soon they will once again echo with laughter, the shuffle of feet, and the hum of eager minds engaging in the pursuit of knowledge. It's an exciting time for us all – whether you're stepping through these doors for the first time or returning as seasoned Vikings, there's a shared sense of anticipation and adventure in the air.

As your proud Principal, I want to assure you that the North Branch Area High School team has been hard at work preparing an enriching, inclusive, and safe learning environment. Our dedicated staff is here to guide, mentor, and inspire you as you embark on this academic journey. We're not just teachers; we're fellow explorers, ready to accompany you on the path of discovery.

To our incredible students, the Vikings of today and the leaders of tomorrow, remember that you are part of a legacy that stretches back through time. Let the Viking spirit within you ignite your passion for learning, camaraderie, and community.

Families, you are our partners in this journey. Your support, encouragement, and involvement are invaluable in shaping your child's education. Together, let's cultivate an environment where our Vikings feel empowered to dream big and strive for excellence.

In the spirit of the Vikings, let's set sail on this new academic year with courage, determination, and an unwavering commitment to each other's success. I am thrilled to be part of this journey, and I look forward to witnessing the remarkable achievements that await us all.

This summer a group of students and teachers reviewed our schedule and how it can better serve students. Removing Office Hours and adding more passing time provides students and staff with more mental breaks in our block schedule. Our school day has always started at 7:55am; just note that 1st Block now starts at 7:55am. This does not affect our transportation times.

Bus information is expected to be available the week of August 21, and will be mailed to families when available. It can also be accessed by logging into ParentVUE. Please feel free to contact the transportation office at 651-674-1030 if you have questions about busing related issues.

Student parking permits for priority parking in the west and north parking lots. If you do not have a printer at home we have copies in the main office. Parking Lot passes will be available to purchase the last week of August both in our front office and online.

Your family could be eligible for discounts on a variety of school expenses such as activity and field trip fees. To find out if your family is eligible, complete the Application for Educational Benefits. A hard copy of the application can be found here, or it can be completed online through your family’s WordWare lunch account.

This year, we're not just returning to school; we're returning to a second home, a place where friendships are forged, talents are honed, and dreams take root. Let's make every moment count – in the classrooms, on the field, in the arts, and in every corner of our vibrant school community.
