North Central jr/sr high school is a jr./sr. high school on the outskirts of Farmersburg, Indiana. The school celebrated its 50th year of service in 2007-08. It is one of 2 high schools and one of 6 schools in the Northeast school corporation of Sullivan County, IN.
North Central's mascot is the Thunderbirds, named for an old local mine, that was operating in nearby Farmersburg and Shelburn, Indiana at the time of the start of the school.
North Central offers a number of Extracurricular activities before, after, and sometimes even during school hours. The junior high has activities such as a SADD club, a juniorBeta club, tutoring, and a drama club. The Senior High offers many of the same activities such as a SADD club and a Beta club along with tutoring and drama, whose play this fall will be "The Clumsy Custard Horror Show and Ice Cream Clone Review", but also has some others such as weightlifting and a color guard.
Also the choir boosters sponsor a yearly play for students to try out for and perform in front of audience members after weeks of practice and training. The junior high choir is also starting a show choir to run in six week sessions to give the opportunity to kids in different sports to participate in their off-seasons.
North Central also has a yearly musical production put on by the choral and drama departments of the school with the cast consisting of students in the choral or drama programs. This years production will be Beauty And The Beast.
North Central adopted a non-smoking procedure during summer break in 2008 so that smoking is prohibited on the school campus.
In the 2008-09 school year North Central began using a new electronic gradebook for all of the classes and parents can look at their children's grades online on the corporation's website by using a login and password sent the parents in the beginning of the seconds semester of classes and can check each classes assignments and look at the specific grades for the class. Teachers are being encouraged to keep the online grades up to date and starting in the fall of 2009 will be encouraged to put each nights homework assignments on the program so that the parents can see what the kids are supposed to be doing each night.
