History

Northside Christian Academy has been described as a segregation academy when it first opened in 1961. [2] [3] It has since changed, and does not discriminate enrollment on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administrated programs. [4]

Athletics

Athletically, the Knights compete at the NCISAA class 1A/2A state level, and belong to the Metrolina Athletic Conference (MAC).

The Northside Knights men's basketball program has won multiple NCISAA titles within the last 5 seasons, led by head coach and former NBA player, Byron Dinkins. The women's basketball team has also been successful, under the leadership of head coach and former collegiate player, Ashley McGuirt. Additionally, the men's track team has consistently been competitive, winning the 2004 and 2007 NCISAA Championship for 1A and 2A schools. The girls' track team has fared well, also, finishing in second in the 2007 NCISAA Track Meet. The track and field program as a whole has been considered the backbone of the athletic program in its most recent years as it has proven to be the most consistently successful and competitive team in the 40 plus years of the school's athletic existence.
