History

Northside High School originally opened in 1963 as the second high school to be built in Warner Robins, after Warner Robins High School.

Alma Mater:

Northside High our Alma Mater
Thou to us art dear;
May thy virtues and thy teachings
Guide us through the years.
Ever onward, be our watchword,
Conquer and prevail
Eagles rise and set our standards,
Northside High, all hail!

Campus

Many cosmetic changes were implemented starting at the end of the 2001 school year. At the end of the 2004-2005 school year, the school began renovation projects to increase the size of the school. Northside was last renovated during 2005 and 2006. This most recent renovation included a new commons area, an expanded lobby, a bigger cafeteria which connects the Vocational Building with the main building, an expansion of the Technology lab and the band room, and most recently a new gymnasium. Construction ended during the 2007-2008 school year.

Extracurricular activities

Athletics

The school sponsors athletic teams, including girls' and boys' basketball, baseball, cheerleading, cross country, volleyball, track, wrestling, soccer, tennis, swimming, golf, softball, and football.

Track

In 1998 Northside Eagle ladies' track team won state in the 100 meters.

Football

The Northside Eagles football team have had winning seasons for 22 consecutive years; they have been 146 - 15 from 1998 to present. From 1998 to 2005, the school had five teams go 10-0 in the regular season but falter in the playoffs. In 2006 and 2007, the school broke through with consecutive 15-0 finishes in Class 4-A, and won two state championships.

In 2009 the Eagles had wins against Lowndes (#1 in state, #4 in nation), Valdosta, and Newnan (#2 in state, #10 in nation) in the semi-finals leading the way for the Eagles to contest for the 5A state championship in 2009, which they lost against Camden County (December 12) at the Georgia Dome (31-3). Northside was moved back down to 4-A due to lack of enough students to remain in the 5-A classification. The last two years they were here they won the state championship.
