North Shore High School is a public high school located in the hamlet of Glen Head in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.

[3] North Shore's athletic teams are known as the Vikings, and have a long-time rivalry with neighboring Glen Cove High School.

However construction was indefinitely halted shortly thereafter, following the filing of a lawsuit in which two Glenwood Landing residents, on behalf of a Glenwood Landing civic group, sued to try undoing the merger and argued that the North Shore School District could not build the school on the site because it was purchased by one of its predecessors; many Glenwood Landing residents were opposed to the merger, while residents from Sea Cliff and Glen Head were in favor of it – and a state law required school construction to halt if there was a lawsuit in progress concerning the given property.

[5][6] In December 1954, the New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of the North Shore School District, and in April 1955, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court upheld the decision after the plaintiffs appealed the initial ruling.

They were concerned due to automobile and pedestrian safety and possibilities of students conducting recreational drug usage off campus.
