It's no secret rebranding has been a goal of the Northgate School District. As students head back to school at the Middle/High School, they may notice a more 'on brand' learning environment.
New this school year, the lockers have been painted red and the walls are now white with yellow trim to align with the Flames’ new image.
About 2 years ago, the district went through a formal rebranding process, where it created new logos and official school colors; red and yellow.
“When this process was finished, members of the student council approached me and asked about painting the school to reflect these official colors,” High School Principal Dr. Nicole Smith said.
From there, a core group of students got right to work. They researched paint samples and worked with their art teacher to create a mock-up of potential changes and put paint samples on the wall.
“Teachers then came in during a day of service in January and painted one hallway for a visual,” Dr. Smith said.
Once that was done, the paint changes were planned by the Facilities Manager. After a summer of hard work and preparation, the hallways and lockers at Northgate High School are ready for the 2024-2025 school year.
