Overview

The school is a part of the North Shore Central School District. [2] The current principal is Eric Contreras. [3] In 2024, US News ranked North Shore as the 456th best public school in the country. [4] North Shore's athletic teams are known as the Vikings, and have a long-time rivalry with neighboring Glen Cove High School.

In 2021, North Shore High School was recognized as a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School in the Exemplary High Performing category.

History

The 30-acre (12 ha) property which the school sits on was purchased in 1952 by the Glenwood Landing School District – one of three districts which merged in 1953 to form today's North Shore Central School District. [5] Following the 1953 merger between the Glenwood Landing, Sea Cliff, and Glen Head School Districts which formed the North Shore CSD, construction began on the school, after voters approved its erection during a September 25, 1954 vote. However construction was indefinitely halted shortly thereafter, following the filing of a lawsuit in which two Glenwood Landing residents, on behalf of a Glenwood Landing civic group, sued to try undoing the merger and argued that the North Shore School District could not build the school on the site because it was purchased by one of its predecessors; many Glenwood Landing residents were opposed to the merger, while residents from Sea Cliff and Glen Head were in favor of it – and a state law required school construction to halt if there was a lawsuit in progress concerning the given property. [6] [7]

In December 1954, the New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of the North Shore School District, and in April 1955, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court upheld the decision after the plaintiffs appealed the initial ruling. [5] [6] Construction on the school soon resumed, ending the delay caused by the lawsuit – and the school eventually opened in September 1957; the first class graduated in June 1958. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The first principal of the school was Dr. John French. [6] [7] The school was designed by Vincent Kling. [10]

For many years North Shore has had an "open campus" policy, where students were allowed to leave campus during lunch and other free periods so they could work on independent projects. Some community members wanted North Shore to become a "closed campus," where leaving campus was not permitted during free periods. They were concerned due to automobile and pedestrian safety and possibilities of students conducting recreational drug usage off campus. [11]

Student demographics

As of 2024, approximately 764 students attend North Shore High School. [2]

As of the 2022-2023 school year, the school had an enrollment of 777 students and 100 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.8:1. There were 99 students (13% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch, while one percent of students were eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [1]
