Principal's Message       


December 27, 2009

Dear Northgate Community, 

I want to wish all of you a safe and healthy holiday season.   This is our second holiday together at Northgate and everyday I am reminded how lucky I am to be part of such a dynamic and talented learning community:

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I spent a large part of both days observing the uniquely Northgate phenomenon of Mock Congress.  This included all Northgate senior students dressed in business attire debating the issues challenging the United States Congress today.  They wrote bills, drafted amendments, asked and answered questions, built alliances, forged compromises, and represented their ideological interests or sought to gain material rewards for their districts to enhance their own political standing.  Students have spent months researching, reading and writing about American government and the issues facing our society; they then took this knowledge and put it into action...

Happy Birthday!
