In 1983, North was designated a school focused on math, science, and technology. In 1993, the school completed a $20 million renovation that included the Viking Center, renovation of the library, and the addition of the multipurpose physical education and athletics facility. In the early 2000’s, North shifted its focus to specialize in the fields of science, engineering and technology. To complement this focus, in 2010 a new four-story 32,092-square foot addition was added.
