Among the things which will highlight this academic year:

• A September 22 academic program, done in partnership with NASA, where North Bergen High School will be one of approximately fifteen high schools nationwide to have a direct video link with the Space Station.  It will be part of the district’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, as the astronaut on the video link will be Hispanic. 

• Extracurricular club activities, with students taking part in different club contests for the Model United Nations, the band and chorus, as examples.

• Elementary school classes highlighting different holidays in the schools.  Each principal and teaching staff is free to select which holidays and what type of tributes they would like to do.
• The addition this year of the 7th grade to the STEAM Academy.
