The feeling you get when you just graduated from Kindergarten last night, but still have to come to school for three more days. Same, Shawn, same.
THREE MORE DAYS TILL SUMMER, Panthers! ☀✌ #PantherNation
What a night! 🍗🍪❤️ Last night, we had the honor of hosting our first-ever Classified Banquet BBQ, and it was an incredible evening of celebration and gratitude! With over 300 attendees, including staff and their families, it was a true showcase of the heart and soul behind our schools. Our leadership team and administration had the privilege of serving our amazing classified staff all evening long—just one small way to say "thank you" for all they do every day to support our students and campuses. A huge thank you to our generous community sponsors who helped make this event possible: Centennial Bank, Alternative Design, Simmons, Build Architect, Harps, Rib Crib, and South Coast Bakery. #PantherNation

Such a GREAT morning at the Barnhill Arena! 🎓 To our 2025 graduates, your journey is just beginning. We couldn't be more proud and remember.....once a Panther, ALWAYS a Panther! 🥳 #PantherNation
This morning, we witnessed something truly special—the very first Panther Spirit Walk! 🐾 One of the most heartwarming moments? Our seniors and kindergarten students walked arm in arm down the court, symbolizing the journey from beginning to end. As they reached the center, seniors passed on a “paw” filled with well wishes to our kindergarteners, marking the start of a beautiful tradition and the passing of the Panther torch.
💻 Missed it in person? No worries! You can catch all the action on the Northside Facebook page, where the event was streamed live. Go check it out and relive the moment! #PantherNation
