Highlander Family Newsletter |
Hello, Highlander Families! ❤️💛
November is here, and we've got an unusual week ahead at North! 🍂
With Veterans Day falling on Wednesday, November 11, our regular schedule looks a little different. There will be no school on Wednesday (Pantry will be closed) and no Advisory this week, so be sure to check the calendar and plan ahead.
🎭 Come see Puffs! Our talented Highlander performers have been working hard, and we'd love to see our community come out and support them!
❤️ Let's give back, Highlanders! November is a wonderful time to make a difference. Get involved with Project GIVE and Highlander Heroes — two opportunities to show what our North Eugene community can do when we come together.
Check the NEHS Calendar and the announcements below for event details, ways to participate, and everything happening around campus.
Have a great week, Highlanders! GO NORTH! ❤️💛 |

This month, North Eugene High School joins communities across the country in honoring the histories, cultures, contributions, and resilience of Native American and Indigenous peoples.
Here in Eugene, we recognize the Kalapuya people as the original stewards of the land where our school community lives and learns. We also celebrate the many Native students, families, and communities who continue to enrich our region today.
Native American Heritage Month is an opportunity to listen, learn, celebrate Indigenous voices, and recognize that Native history isn't just something in the past — it is a living, evolving part of our present and future.
❤️🤍 We honor Native heritage, voices, and communities — this month and every month. |
The Project GIVE grade-level competition is heating up, and we've added a new way to earn points! All unopened, non-perishable food donations are now worth DOUBLE POINTS! Check your pantry for canned goods and other shelf-stable foods to help your student's grade level climb the leaderboard. We're also continuing to collect hygiene products and baby supplies to support families in our community. 📍 Drop-off: Grade-level donation bins near the front office 📅 Deadline: November 17 🏆 The grade with the most points wins a class prize! Every donation makes a difference. Let's see which Highlander class comes out on top! |

Hello IB families!
Are you wondering about how to help your student with their stress level as they complete their IB classes? One tool we think might be helpful is for everyone to have access to our IB Assessment Calendar (linked here). This calendar has all major IB class deadlines for internal assessments, as well as all of our IB exam dates/times on it.
Questions? Reach out to your student's IB teachers or to Kendall Larsen, IBDP coordinator, at larsen_k@4j.lane.edu. We want to help your students be successful and maintain sanity as they undertake these rigorous courses, and we know they can! |
Do you know youth who are creative, inquisitive, builders, makers, artistic, or would thrive in a hands-on learning experience?
The Design Arts Apprenticeship pairs Lane County middle and high school students with a professional designer for 25 after-school hours, over a 10 week period for a FREE, direct, hands-on learning experience. In small groups, students will work alongside their mentor to understand the profession, explore specific ways to approach design, and begin creating their own project, resulting in an end of term showcase where all students will have the chance to present their work to the public.
There are programs in Beyond the Click (Photography), Upcycle Fashion Design, Digital and Physical Design, Biomimicry, and Zine Creation.
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY.
