Student Life
Life at NCS
At Northside Christian School, students make friendships that last a lifetime. Many of these friendships are formed in extracurricular activities such as
Activity Period
Middle and high school students have special activity periods several times each month. These periods feature a variety of events, including fine arts performances, seasonal sports recognition, pep rallies, academic awards ceremonies, and special spiritual life events.
Club Time
The majority of Northside Christian School students participate in fine arts and/or athletics programs, which meet nearly every day after school. Understanding that colleges value extracurricular involvement, NCS incorporates club time into the school day once every two weeks. We offer a variety of academic and special interest clubs, including Student Council, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, fishing, cooking, and more.
Homecoming
Homecoming week is packed with exciting, fun-filled activities such as hall decorations, themed dress-up days, class competitions, and energetic pep rallies. The week concludes with the homecoming football game, the crowning of the homecoming court, alumni events, and the high school homecoming dance.
Prom
NCS juniors and seniors eagerly anticipate Prom every spring. The event is held at off-campus locations that vary each year, based on the class’s chosen theme and venue.
Class Trips
Field trips play a vital role in the learning experience and are offered to students in grades K-12. Overnight trips include the 5th grade camping trip, the 8th grade tour of Washington, D.C., and the 9th grade retreat. Seniors enjoy an overnight retreat and a special end-of-year trip to the mountains of Tennessee.
Mentoring
Fifth-grade students are invited to join the safety patrol, taking on responsibilities such as walking Kindergarten students to their classrooms and assisting with car line duties. Additionally, seniors are paired with preschoolers as buddies. Once a month, they spend time together engaging in activities like reading, enjoying ice cream sundaes, playing games, or hosting events like a trunk-or-treat party.
Northside Christian School is an educational ministry of Northside Baptist Church.
