School Notes:
  • North Medford High School is a secondary school located at 1900 North Keene Way Drive, in the city of Medford, Oregon. Beginning in the 2006-2007 school year, NMHS started its Freshman Academy program, after a monetary grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Currently the South Medford High School Panthers are the school's largest competitors.
  • Bell Schedule: This bell schedule is for the 2006-2007 school year at North Medford High School. It does not cover early release days. The school follows Block Scheduling.
  • Preamble of the Student Body Constitution: "In the search for self-government, those who oppose that which is highest in the American spirit oftentimes are misguided or ignorant. We, the members of the Associated Student Body of North Medford High School, dedicate this tablet to the furtherance of student liberty and true education." - ratified May 10th 1995.

  • Club Sports: Bowling, Equestrian, Figure Skating, Ice Hockey, Skiing, Snowboarding, Water Polo.
  • Criticisms: The new schedule used by the school this year has angered many students and teachers alike at NMHS, because the students now have 5th, 6th, and 7th block classes everyday. This means some students could have up to six classes each day, as opposed to a five-class maximum as was the case under the previous schedule. The new schedule also eliminates "office hours", which were a half hour period in between the Early Bird (Zero Block) classes and 1st Period. Office hours were used by students to seek help from teachers, get homework, or redo tests.
  • This new schedule has an "early release Wednesday" every few weeks, on which there are no afternoon classes. After lunch, there is a 50-minute time period which functions much the same as office hours used to. However, these do not come often enough for some students, and have also come under fire.
