School Motto: Nurturing Global High Standards
It is the desire that NORTH GREENE HIGH SCHOOL provide learning opportunities and experiences, which meet the need and maximize the potential of all students in a positive, safe learning environment that stimulates intellectual curiosity, commitment, and academic achievement. Our goal is to instill positive principles, habits and attitudes conducive to good physical and mental health; promote an acceptable self-concept and work ethic necessary for productive citizenship, and foster respect for the environment and the individual differences that exist among people.
We believe that high student performance is a shared responsibility for parents, staff and students. We value the role of parents to help your child achieve high academic standards, and our staff wishes to work with you, your child, and family in building a partnership to help your child be successful and career and college ready.
