Northgate High School Athletics

Proper sportsmanship on and off the field is more than obiding by the basic rules and principles of athletic conduct. The Northgate High School Athletic Department expects our student-athletes to be first class citizens in the community, first class students in the classroom, and first class athletes in the arena. We support, encourage, and adhere to the definition of sportsmanship created by the National Federation of State High School Assocation (NFHS).
