Independence Day Parades

Congratulations to the members of the DGN Trojan Marching Band and the members of the DGS Marching Mustangs, as the two schools joined forces to create the 2011 Community High School District 99 Marching Band!

Blue skies and warm temperatures greeted our students for two parades: Darien, IL and Downers Grove, IL. Both parade routes were packed with onlookers cheering our students.

We offer a special thanks to every student (and their families) who made it a point to participate in this year's Independence Day parades. We are very proud of your commitment to our schools, our community, and our nation.

Happy 4th everyone!

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music, theatre, and visual art in a wide variety of creative settings. Program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are: To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results; To intentionally study music, theatre and visual art from cultures and communities that have been historically under-represented; To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level; To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
