Mission Statement

excellence, positive relationships, and productive citizens.
Colors
Traditionally Navy Blue, North Star’s primary color, is the color of constancy and faith and is symbolic of the sky and the oceans. Blue represents the ideals of the ancient navigators using celestial navigation to guide their ships to explore and reach new boundaries. Burgundy, our accent color, is symbolic of power, leadership, ambition, education, and respect. It represents the goals and ambitions of North Star High School students, faculty, and families to prepare future leaders and pillars of our community.

School Song
GATOR PRIDE
Chart the course the Gators choose.
Play the game, win or lose.
Emblem shining in the night,
Guides us all to truth and right.
Always constant, always new,
Set the standard maroon and blue.
Build the future, lead the way,
Seek the North Star day to day.
Chart the course the Gators choose.
Play the game, win or lose.
Emblem shining in the night,
Guides us all to truth and right.
Navigators hold in sight,
North Star and the shining light.
Work together, keep your stride.
Standing tall with Gator Pride.
Chart the course the Gators choose.
Play the game, win or lose.
Emblem shining in the night,
Guides us all to truth and right.
