Northgate Community Has a Voice for Change

Welcome to the Northgate High School Blog. The sole purpose of this blog is to gather information from parents, students, teachers, staff and administrators who would like to share ideas about improving Northgate. The blog will also provide information about MDUSD's, and Northgate's, failure to provide a quality education for our students. If you believe everything is wonderful at Northgate feel free to write that in a post but please understand that this blog is about change. No form of name calling or intimidation will be tolerated, your post will be removed. This is a serious blog for serious people who want to make a difference. Members of the school board view this site, this link can easily be sent to the Superintendent, this is your opportunity to tell them what you think needs to change at Northgate.

Meet and Greet with McMorris Tonight

New Principal, John McMorris will be the guest of honor at a Meet and Greet hosted by PFC President Monica Fitzgerald tonight. I hope that all of you who attend will take the time to comment on your impression of Mr. McMorris. After years of failed leadership we can only hope that this new Principal will address many of the issues still facing Northgate. Issues like low teacher moral, high teacher turnover, a decline in student standings as compared to students from similar schools, and a lack of high academic and behavioral standards, just to name a few.
In a Contra Costa Times article, Mr. McMorris was quoted as saying, "I believe the challenges that we have at Northgate are not with the district; they are with Northgate."
I hope Mr. McMorris will elaborate on that comment since many of us believe that many of the problems at Northgate are directly related to problems at the District. Mr. McMorris we will ask much of you over the next year, please remember to be our advocate at the District, not their mouthpiece --- please.
