• We are entering our sixth year of existence.  In that time, we have witnessed many exceptional students, events and contributions to the culture of North Star High School.  During this year, we are reminded to keep our sights on the meaning of the North Star logo. 
• The logo pictures two arched arrows which shows the arrows in constant forward motion to achieve success.  We believe that is exactly what happens every day at North Star High School.  At North Star, students and staff have the opportunity and are challenged to improve their skills and gain new knowledge while always moving in a positive forward motion.
• This school year more students are living the North Star logo and taking advantage of the opportunities available to them.
• North Star staff is also taking on the challenge to Navigate the Digital Journey.  We want to be the change that will make a difference for all of our students.  This year all grades will be online as we work to better connect to all 'GATOR families.  Staff agrees we need to live the logo!   
• Explorers depend on the North Star when there are no other landmarks in sight.  The same relationship exists between you and North Star High School.  Moving in the direction and realization of your full potential is living the logo.  It is our hope that ALL NAVIGATORS will live the North Star logo.
