Graduation is a special time for seniors and their families. A student is eligible for graduation if he or she completes all graduation requirements including all portions of the EOC Exams. The faculty and staff of North Shore Senior High School commend you for your diligent effort and your support. This will be publicly rewarded when your child participates in the Commencement Exercises on Sunday, May 28th, 2023 at 9:00 a. m. at NRG Stadium.
