Highlights
It is also one of three schools to host the International Business and Technology Program. This school has also hosted the International Co-op Program in conjunction with AFS (American Field Services), which has sent a selected number of students for one semester to Paraguay, South America for volunteer work. The program has been hosted by North Park Secondary School since 1998 and has been a great success thanks to the work of Jon Ruhnke and principal Mr. Tunner. After nearly 30 years, the school portapack was demolished in 2008 to make way for a long-awaited extension. As of August 2015, there were 1,359 full-time students attending NPSS.
