Niles Township High Schools District 219

It bothers me that the staff at this school runs out into Lawler Avenue, instead of crossing at the crosswalk, like their students do. One staff member was so rude she called me a name after I drove past her and didn’t allow her to run in front of my car. Maybe the staff needs a few lessons in common sense and courtesy.

Some of the best 4 years of my life, and I’d still say that even if I didn’t win «Outstanding Senior Boy 1999» The opportunities I had as a student at NNHS were incredible, and a recent trip back to celebrate 20 years of Take One Vocal Jazz made me realize what an important institution that was during a time of extreme growth and learning. So wonderful to see that many of the faculty member I remember remain. Even better are the capital improvements made to the fine arts. Brand new black box theatre FTW!

As an alumni of North I have got to give it a lot of credit. I had a bunch of friends at all different high schools in the area and believe me, nobody kicked as much ass as Niles North and West (and no I won’t be all «BOO WEST» just because their sports teams kick Norths’ asses) In fact it’s a lot like the Cubs and the Sox if you think about it… Heh.
:Gets grounded: ALRIGHT! Back to business. If you attend Niles North and are interested in getting involved with the Drama program you’re in incredible luck. Not only have they been praised all the way down the yellowbrick road for their plays, programs, and dedication to the craft, they also have a shop downstairs below the theater where students work from scratch to build, paint and put together sets. Students run the lights and sound, and believe you me, it’s the best in at least all of IL in my opinion. If you’re out to prove me wrong I beg you try.
As far as academics are concerned, I had some issues with certain teachers and the ignorance of counselors, however North is a very accommodating school, as is West, and both have high academic standards and plant the seeds in their students for their college careers. I truly do suggest if you’re moving to the area and have kids who will be attending high school soon you take a look into District 219.

This is known to be one of the best high schools in the Chicago-​land area. The student body is great and there’s a healthy competition among the students. They have a great set of teachers and staff, complete with lots of great after-​school activities. Any student here is bound to enjoy their high school experience!
