To continue our great tradition of making reunions affordable for all, the reunion committee is seeking voluntary cash donations. Your donations will help offset the cost of beer and bartenders. You can contribute in one of three ways. No donation is too small.  Contact Mark Cardenas to contribute.  

Hygiene Drive:

In support of the many needs of District 622 students, please consider collecting and donating desperately needed hygiene items this year. This collection effort is being coordinated through the Polar Pride Project which fellow North High alum Dawn Balsimo Rondeau and her family set up and operate. All donations go directly to the District Education Center’s Basic Need Pantry.

All collected items can be dropped off at the reunion. To schedule a September pick up (in and around the Twin Cities), please reach out to Jeff Kuhlman @ 715-925-1537 or Kuhlmans2019@yahoo.com | You can also donate to the cause via VENMO & Check (contact Jeff for Info) or Cash at the reunion.

(needed hygiene items: shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, mouth wash, deodorant, face wash, bod wash, razors, shaving cream/gel, bar soap, lotion, Chapstick, feminine hygiene, finger nail clippers)

The success of many of North High School's academic, athletic, activity, and service programs has been possible only with strong, continuing support from parents, alumni, area businesses, and community organizations for 100 years! 

North students and staff frequently are encouraged to make school needs known and to tell community members how they can help.
