Building Community. Supporting Northside
From the Spring Gala and Cubby Walk to the Annual Appeal and parent socials, Friends of Northside events bring our community together while raising funds that support students, teachers, and programs. Every event is an opportunity to connect, volunteer, and make a meaningful impact.

Backyard Bash is a casual evening of food, drinks, music, and community held in Northside's own backyard. The event brings together parents, faculty, alumni, and friends to celebrate the school while raising critical funds to support Northside's athletic programs and teams. Join us for a fun summer tradition that helps our student-athletes thrive both on and off the field.
The Mustang 5K (Date Coming Soon)
New this year, the Mustang 5K will bring together students, families, alumni, faculty, and neighbors for a morning of fitness, school spirit, and fun. Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, every step helps support Northside students. Lace up your shoes and be part of this new tradition. Details coming soon, including registration, sponsorship, and donation information.
