Northgate attended the 2019 Go Red Go Stem event at the Carnegie Museum on November 8th. They had break out sessions to expose our girls to see what a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math could look like. This day long event empowered a group of young women from local schools - grade 6 thru 8 to explore STEM outside the classroom. The young students gained first-hand experience through hands-on exhibits, panel discussions, break-out sessions, and table mentoring with women in the Pittsburgh community's STEM fields.

The kids at the Middle/High School welcomed their younger peers from both elementary schools for the annual "Make-it" a Happy Halloween event! Students plan activities, dress in costume, and everyone makes different Halloween themed activities. The high school students were awesome as they worked with the younger students and guided them through activities. The elementary students had a blast and were sporting all types of cool costumes. A lot of gratitude and thanks to the faculty members who went the extra mile and put in the extra time to make this event a success. We are so excited to see this tradition grow!
