History
North Eugene High School was open to students on October 21, 1957. The opening was delayed nearly two months, causing two months of double-shifting at Colin Kelly Junior High School until the school was finally completed.[citation needed]
Academics
In 2008, 84% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 246 students, 207 graduated, 23 dropped out, 4 received a modified diploma, and 12 are still in high school.[3][4]
The student-produced school newspaper, The Caledonian,[5] appears to be the first in the area to move to an online news production model.[6]
The students at N.E.H.S. performed at 47%, 68% and 50% proficient in Math, Reading & Science respectively on the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. This compares to state averages of 49%, 67% and 56%.[7]
The Campus is split into three "small schools" within North as a whole.
