DeutschNorthside High School (Mississippi)
Northside High School is a public secondary school in Shelby, Mississippi, serving grades 7–12.[1] It is the only high school of the North Bolivar Consolidated School District. The district serves, in addition to Shelby: Alligator, Duncan, Mound Bayou, and Winstonville.[2] The alligator is the mascot. The school colors are blue and orange.[3]
It opened in 2018 as a consolidation of Broad Street High School and John F. Kennedy Memorial High School, with the school on the former Broad Street campus.[4] The combined athletic teams began operation upon the school's opening.[5] The school board kept the Broad Street campus open because it had more space, even though the Kennedy campus was less costly to maintain.[6] The new name Northside High was chosen by the student body.[3]
