Northern Gateway Public Schools' ultimate goal is student success and well-being. Students imagine, explore, create and engage in lifelong learning as they develop attitudes, skills and knowledge to contribute to the welfare of themselves and others and to prepare them for their future. We strive to create an environment where teachers, students, and the greater community can do their best work, together.
