“We all have fond memories of our years at North High during the 1970’s,” North High Class of 1979 President Laurie Caputo said. “As a class, we wanted to commemorate our years by donating money for benches to be placed around campus as part of the master facility renovations.”

“We are incredibly grateful for alumni who give back to their alma mater,” North High Principal Janice Schwarze said. “We’re looking forward to thanking the 1979 class members in person for their donation.”
