One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: Keep track of your own work. Don’t fall behind and you will not get overwhelmed. Find people with the same mindset as you.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: My parents inspire me to be the best everyday. They are always there for me when I need them. Always setting good examples for me, they are my role models.
Favorite quote: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” - Oscar Wilde
Plans after graduation: My plans after graduating high school are going to a 4 year college for sports management and being able to play soccer as well. Set a good foundation for my future after college.

Northeast is committed to fostering a positive school culture, supporting student well-being, and helping students develop the social-emotional and employability skills they need to succeed in school, the real world, and their future careers.
As part of this work, Northeast utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to ensure that every student receives appropriate support based on their individual strengths and needs. At Tier 1, all students receive instruction in social-emotional learning (SEL) aligned with the five CASEL competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making, as well as essential employability skills.
During an upcoming first block class, students will complete a brief (5-10 minute) Schoolwide SEL & Employability Skills Assessment. The assessment will help identify student strengths, measure progress, and determine areas where additional instruction or targeted supports may be helpful. Our goal is to prepare every student for success in school, postsecondary education, the workforce, and life beyond high school.
Assessment Dates:
- Wednesday, September 30: Grades 10 and 12
- Wednesday, October 7: Grades 9 and 11
If you have any questions or would like to opt your student out of the assessment, please reach out to your student’s counselor.
