North Eugene High School is a public high school of about 1,150 students in Eugene, Oregon. It is located at 200 Silver Lane near the Santa Clara area of Eugene. North Eugene's mascot is the Highlander. This reflects the Scottish ancestry of the former owners of the property where the high school now stands.
History: North Eugene High School was open to students on October 21, 1957. The opening was delayed nearly two months, causing two months of double-shifting at Kelly Middle School until the school was finally completed.
Famous Alumni:: David Ogden Stiers (1960), actor. Mr. Stiers is perhaps best known as Major Charles Emerson Winchester on the classic TV series "M*A*S*H*" from 1977 to 1983.
Jo Collins (1962), Playmate of the Year in 1964, and the first to visit troops in Vietnam.
Kenny Moore (1962), Olympic marathon runner, journalist and author (see "Sports").
Bob Newland (1967), All-American wide receiver for the University of Oregon (he teamed with Ahmad Rashad and caught Dan Fouts' passes). Played five seasons with the NFL's New Orleans Saints.
Danny Ainge (1977), professional baseball and basketball star; now general manager of the NBA Boston Celtics (see "Sports").
Gina Matthews (1982), movie and TV producer. Her credits include "13 Going On 30," starring Jennifer Garner, and "What Women Want," starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt; and the TV series "Jake 2.0.".
Kailee Wong (1994), professional football player. Starred in football at Stanford, began his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. Now with the Houston Texans.
Small Schools Program: North Eugene High School is divided into three smaller schools:
NIHS - North International High School.
IDEAS - Invention, Design, Engineering, Arts, & Science.
NEAA - North Eugene Academy of Arts.
Sports: The North Eugene Highlanders boys' basketball team won Oregon's 5A state championship in 2007, with a 28-0 record. It was the North boys' first state title since 1977, when Danny Ainge led the Highlanders to their second straight state championship. The 2007 champions finished with a 28-0 record, setting a school record for most wins in a season, and becoming the second NEHS boys basketball team (along with the 1977 champs) to go undefeated. In 2006-07 pre-season play, the Highlanders were 7-0 against teams from Class 6A, Oregon's highest prep classification.
The Highlanders have won the following state team championships: Boys' basketball, 1963, 1966, 1976, 1977, 2007. Girls' basketball, 1989. Girls' gymnastics, 1976. Softball, 2000. Boys' track and field, 1962.
Danny Ainge, current (2007) general manager of the NBA's Boston Celtics, graduated from North Eugene High School in 1977, and led the North basketball team to state championship titles in 1976 and 1977. Ainge also played in the NBA for the Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trailblazers and Phoenix Suns, coached the Suns, and played major league baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Another North High contribution to the sports world: Kenny Moore, Olympic marathoner and author. Moore produced many articles for Sports Illustrated, authored a biography of legendary track coach Bill Bowerman, and co-authored "Without Limits," a 1997 major motion picture about famed Oregon distance runner Steve Prefontaine. Moore graduated from North High in 1962.
