Lawrence North High School is located at 7802 Hague Road in Indianapolis, Indiana, 46256, on the Northeast side of that city. It is one of two public high schools serving grades nine through twelve in the Lawrence Township of Marion County, Indiana.
It is part of the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township.
History: Lawrence North opened its doors in the fall of 1976.
The school colors are Scarlet and Forest Green. The school mascot is the "Wildcat." The school motto is "This is Our House."
Athletics: Lawrence North High School has 18 varsity sports teams, as well as several club and intramural teams. Lawrence North obtained regional fame for winning the Indiana High School State Basketball Championship in 1989 and for producing NBA athlete Eric Montross. In recent years LN has regained its fame by taking multiple state titles in track, wrestling, and basketball. Greg Oden, class of 2006, was widely considered to be the best high school basketball player in the nation. During the 2004-2005 basketball season, two Lawrence North basketball games were nationally televised; one on INHD and another on ESPN.
Lawrence North Basketball etched its names into Indiana High School Basketball History, when they won their third consecutive state title in 2006 (2004, 2005, 2006). With the victory, Lawrence North won its 45th straight games tying Indianapolis Crispus Attucks’ streak spanning the 1954-55 and 1955-56 seasons. The Wildcats’ last loss came in January of 2005. They now join Franklin (1920-22) and Marion (1985-87) as the only teams to win three consecutive state championships. The team also became the tenth team in state history to finish undefeated (29-0). The Wildcats also made Indiana history as being the first Hoosier team to finish the season ranked as the #1 team in every National Poll, including the USA Today Poll, which signifies that they are the "mythical" 2005-2006 National Champions.
As a result of going undefeated and winning the state championship, the entire team will be entered into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
Members of the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC).
