Service to the CommunityService takes many shapes at North Cross. On any given day, you may find students in the Lower School writing Thanksgiving messages to Veterans at the VA Hospital; Middle Schoolers collecting paper products to donate to a local shelter; the Upper School holding a "Bojangles Day" where the purchase price benefits a local charity or cause, such as helping send supplies to a flooded school in a nearby town. Beyond that, students will take service trips to places like Peru, where they not only get to see the awe-inspiring sites of Machu Pichu, but also help build a concrete path for a local village prone to muddy walkways. Twice per month, 高中的一个咨询小组通过我们在附近的慈善机构的“服务更多”项目提供一整天的服务, 每年春天,在社区服务日,学生们被分成不同的组织,伸出援助之手,志愿工作者遍布整个山谷. The results are immediate, but the benefit lasts a lifetime.

From the Mock Battle where history truly comes to life, made possible by generous parent volunteers and the fifth- and sixth-grade classes, 在胖铅笔仪式上,一名ep -2学生给她的学长送了一支红色的“胖”铅笔, similar to the ones with which students learned penmanship, North Cross has a rich history of traditions. But what makes North Cross truly unique is how we welcome new traditions. 当一个四年级的学生想在低年级的操场上创造一个“伙伴长凳”,寻找玩伴的学生可以坐在那里邀请其他人和他们一起玩, the school was supportive. 在2016年的毕业典礼上,新上任的低年级主任维克多·拉马斯(Victor Lamas)为学生们分别命名为各自的班级, he was greeted with applause when he pulled out a Sorting Hat. Dr. 六年前,普罗科特甚至恢复了一项已经消失的传统,他敲响了新学年的钟声,敲响了几十年前玛格丽特·诺斯克罗斯·埃利斯(Margaret Northcross Ellis)开始新学年的钟声. 我们的传统有一个目的:通过拥抱使我们独特的东西来加强我们的社区, and which has done so for over 75 years.

In establishing a dress code for its students, 学校鼓励高标准的外表,让学生为自己和学校感到骄傲, and so that eccentricities of dress do not become a distraction from their work each day. The dress code is also intended to minimize extravagances and competition in dress. Furthermore, 着装规范强调,不同的场合和活动适合不同的着装. In general, students should be neat, clean, and well groomed, and should wear clothes that are clean, well pressed, properly fitting, and in good repair. 学生们从到校到下课都要遵守着装要求, unless otherwise instructed. The dress code is a feature of school life most successfully fulfilled when parents, students, and the School work closely together. All clothing must be solid colored (except plaid skirts). Should clothing not fall within the following guidelines, a student may be required to leave class until corrected.

Beyond the mentorship provided by their peers and teachers, North Cross builds into its Lower School curriculum a time for guidance. During this time period, which meets bi-weekly, 我们有执照的专业学校辅导员与小群学生一起学习解决冲突的技巧, smart choices, and self confidence. This work continues through Middle School and includes healthy self images, kindness and verbalization. 我们的学校辅导员还与行政部门合作,及时将演讲者带到校园. 过去讨论的问题包括养育“数字原住民”和阿片类药物成瘾的上升.
In 2017 the Malcolm K. Douglas Summer Internship Program had its first season. 短期工作任务帮助学生在他们感兴趣的领域获得实际经验, ranging from set design to lab sciences, 虽然企业和组织有机会指导和建立联系,可能有一天会导致一个新员工. 学生们还将学习如何在面试中展示自己,以及如何在商业环境中进行沟通. At the end of it, students not only gain a leg up in an industry of interest, but also a nice addition to their college résumés. |
