North High School, or Evansville North High School, is a public high school located in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, United States.
History After the city/county merger in 1958, this district included Vogel, Delaware, Scott, Evans, and Oak Hill Schools, as well as some students from Howard Roosa and Stringtown Schools. This huge district stayed relatively stable through desegregation and a middle school reorganization. The high school, located on Diamond Avenue on the northern side of the city, was almost closed due to low enrollment in 1983. Since the community's successful effort to save the school, the northeastern part of the county has experienced massive population growth. A sixth feeder school was added in 2019 in McCutchanville, replacing the original McCutchanville School that was consolidated into Oak Hill School in 1965.
On November 4, 2008, Vanderburgh County voters approved a $149 million bond issue for the EVSC. A long list of projects included a new $58.2 million high school for 2,000 students and an adjacent $27 million junior high school for 1,000 students. In late November 2008, the EVSC purchased around near U.S. 41 and Baseline Road, nine miles north of Evansville, for the new campus. The new North High School building opened in January 2012, complete with its first football stadium.
