North Shore High School is a public high school in the center of Lantern Hill. Despite the city’s benefit from brand new facilities the school still has many of the same problems plaguing all American high schools, such as drugs, violence, and legal issues. The school's faculty and staff work hard to ensure a quality level of education for their students, but often feel they are more often called upon to be social workers, counselors, and even parole officers. The majority of the student body is made up of kids who vary between working hard and wanting to have fun with their friends. Any problem kids just happen to be the ones that take up the most time. North Shore High has a successful athletics program and its football and basketball games are well attended. They also boast a healthy competitive relationship with a local private school, Mayfield Prep.
OOC NOTE
North Shore High School is a public school but continues to refuse the concept of school uniforms. Despite this descriptions should be suited for school, meaning they may not be provocative or unfit for a place of education. No excessively short skirts, dresses, shorts or tops are allowed, nor are tops that expose excessive amounts of skin. Shoes must be worn and metal detectors make sure weapons (guns, knives, etc) remain off school campus at all times. Please RP appropriately.
