North Kansas City High School
Class Of 1962

News from the School

 

 

Dr. Rochel Daniels, Superintendent of the NKC School District, and Dr. Keith Jones, Principal of NKC High School, recently shared some information about the NKC School District and the NKC High School.  Currently the NKC School District is the second largest School District in Missouri with 22,000 students in the district and approximately 1,740 students in the High School.   With over 120 different languages spoken in the district, additional staffing has been added to the English Language Learners Department.

Every student at NKC High School is enrolled in a pathway of their choice, allowing for targeted curriculums, specialized activities, internships, and work-based learning experiences.  The program is so popular that students from other high schools in the district can transfer to NKC to participate in the Pathway Program. 

2025 will mark Northtown High School’s 100-year anniversary.  Several events are scheduled to celebrate this milestone including the unveiling of the new 100-year Timeline Exhibit on January 24th and an Anniversary Music Concert at the Kauffman Center on April 1st

A Wall of Heroes, to honor the 10 Hornets who served in Vietnam never to return home, was dedicated at NKC High School on September 21st.  Chris Sager, class of 1967, is responsible for the design of this learning wall.  To view a documentary about the Wall of Heroes, click on the link https://youtu.be/k1eoI4-7U7A

 

 

 

NKCHS Class Social

Paul and Jacks in North Kansas City was the site of our 2024 Class of 1962 social get together.  30 people attended including some classmates from the class of 1961 and 1963.   The social was held in the “Hornets’ Nest” room, a room filed with memorabilia from the people, teams and events at North Kansas City High School.

The Taco Bar was excellent and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to visit with old classmates.  Everyone looked exactly like they did in their senior yearbook pictures.  You can verify that fact by looking at the “2024 Social” pictures under the links on the left side of our home page.


 

 

 

Class of 1962's 60th Anniversary Reunion

Our 60th class reunion was held on Saturday, September 10th at Cascone’s Restaurant.    We had 70+ people, including 42 classmates, in attendance. Good food, good venue and a chance to renew old friendships.    A big thanks to all those in attendance that made it a great celebration.

The slide show that was played during the reunion has been added to our website’s home page under the heading “60th class reunion.”  Find it on the left side of the home page (yellow menu area).

As we collect photos taken during the reunion, we will add them to the “60th class reunion” tab.
