North's mascot stems from the historical and geographical location of Hagerstown at the intersection of waterways, railroads, and interstate highways.

Hence, North is known as “The Hub of Better Learning.” Recently the school opened a brand-new athletic facility, Mike Callas Stadium, that features a synthetic grass field and the largest free-standing scoreboard in the state of Maryland.

[citation needed] The stadium's grand opening was on November 3, 2006, when the Hubs defeated Catoctin High School, 49-36.

The stadium features bricks that were collected by alumni of the now-demolished Hagerstown High School, which was located on Potomac Avenue between the years of 1927 and 1958.
