This was a breakthrough season for the Pasquotank Panthers football team. With seven wins, Pasquotank will have its first winning season. The team fell just short of another first, as one spot higher in playoff seeding would have given the Panthers a home playoff game.

As of 2005, the student body was composed of approximately 435 males and 420 females with a racial dynamic of 49% African American, 47.8% Caucasian, 0.7% Asian, 1.4% Hispanic, and 1.1% multi-racial. Of the school's 855 students, 12.0% were identified academically gifted while 11.9% were identified exceptional.
Enrollment
Northeastern High School served an average of 855 students during the 2003-04 school year. Additionally, 114 Pasquotank County High School students were served at NHS for at least one class. There were 63 transfer students, 27 students who enrolled at COA and 18 students who chose not to enroll in another educational setting. Five students were early graduates. This reflects a 7.2% decrease in transfers from 14.6% in 2002-2003 to 7.4% in 2003-2004. The state-defined dropout rate increased from 4.4% in 2002-2003 to 5.3% in 2003-2004.

89.3% of the students at Northeastern High School were promoted at the conclusion of the spring 2004 semester. This is very similar to the 90.3% promotion rate previous year. The highest number of retentions still remains at the ninth grade level with 15.3% (38 out of 248 students) not meeting promotion standards.
