We’ve collected the data on your fellow North seniors’ post-high school plans, and here are the results.
With the school year coming to an end for Niles North seniors, we’ve decided to carry out a poll asking students about where they’re headed after next Sunday’s commencement. The results are in, and here’s the breakdown of the answers from the 61% of our seniors who responded.

The highest number of in-state respondents are attending Oakton Community College, with 19% indicating they are going there.

Aside from colleges, we have a portion of seniors pursuing alternative paths, including 4 students going straight into the workforce, 1 into the armed forces, and another to a trade school.
Regardless of what students are pursuing and where they end up, we are all incredibly proud of our graduating Class of 2022!
