Northside is a participating school which offers the law studies program which includes a mock trial room.
Students participate in a regional mock trial competition and host a law week for Northside's social studies classes.
Northside is the site of the Engineering Academy, which invites students across the Lafayette area to come from their freshmen year to graduation.
The main goal is to prepare students to be successful in a post-secondary field of study related to engineering or industrial technology.
The second goal is to help students determine which specific engineering or industrial technology discipline most appeals to them as a possible career.
