Naperville North High School is a public four-year high school located at the corner of Ogden Avenue and Mill Street in the northern-central part of Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
From the time of its construction until the 1992-1993 academic year, Naperville North was the only high school in its district to have a swimming pool.
[3] In 2010, Newsweek ranked Naperville North #1332 in their annual list of the top 1500 American public high schools, based upon the total number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests given at a school, divided by the number of seniors graduating that year.
[7] In 2018, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recognized Naperville North as one of the 349 National Blue Ribbon Schools.
[11] The school sponsors multiple interscholastic athletic teams for young men and women under the IHSA: basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling.
They will offer girls’ flag football beginning in the 2025-2026 school year for the fall season.
Notable recent IHSTF productions with North students in the cast or crew began with The Kentucky Cycle in 1999, ending a decade-long absence from the festival, and have since included West Side Story, Pirates of Penzance and Macbeth.
The Naperville North theatre recently received a technical over-haul, allowing for better lighting and control mechanisms.
The Math Team at Naperville North has been the DuPage Valley Conference champions for 28 consecutive years and were Illinois state champions 14 of the last 16 years, and won ten consecutive Math Team state championships (1998–2007).
In 2008, the math team competed at the ICTM Regional competition at the College of DuPage and placed 1st overall.
The student-led team builds competitive robots with support from teacher-coaches, mentors, and corporate sponsors.
In late 2019 as a rookie team they competed in the North America Scholastic Esports Federation Overwatch Tournament, eventually traveling to Santa Clara, CA where they lost in the championship finals to Rocklin High School.
