North Shore High School is proud to share Scholar Awards Night 2020 - The Virtual Edition! This special annual ceremony recognizes students for exceptional academic achievement, community service, school and civic engagement. Over 150 awards are presented in this ceremony in over 100 categories.  As it was originally planned for this date and time, we are sharing it on schedule. The setting may be different, but the spirit is the same. 

We are grateful to our generous community sponsors who have rallied together to provide scholarships for our students, and for the faculty and staff who worked with departmental leaders to identify students to recognize. It was no easy task to pull this off in a virtual way, but we are proud to announce that every scheduled award, and more, is being presented here in this digital ceremony.  Hosted and created by Principal Albert Cousins, the virtual event would not have been possible without the hard work of awards coordinator, Joanne Fawcett, and main office administrative assistant, Ashley Baker. 

Families of students who were recognized in this video have been contacted individually via email. Physical awards will be delivered or provided once it is practical to do so. We congratulate all of the award and scholarship recipients!
