Preparing Students for High-Wage, High-Demand Careers in Mississippi

At Northside High School, we are transforming education to better prepare students for the future. The Academy of Sustainability is our innovative approach to ensuring that all students graduate ready for college, careers, and life.

By integrating hands-on, real-world learning with academic excellence, we connect students to high-demand industries and equip them with the skills needed to thrive in a competitive workforce. Our mission is to provide students with meaningful educational experiences that engage, challenge, and empower them through career-connected learning.

WHY THE ACADEMY OF SUSTAINABILITY?

The entire Northside High School operates under the Academy of Sustainability model, ensuring that students explore career options that sustain our community and economy.

Based on economic data from our region as well as input from our community, these pathways were chosen because they are the most likely to offer high wage, high- demand opportunities when our students graduate. We want our children to have the skills they need to continue on to college, begin working in a career, or join the military. We believe that this college and career connected learning platform will better prepare them for whatever they wish to do after high school.
