As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, North Atlanta High School transforms into a hub of activity, with students eagerly embracing the arrival of spring. At North Atlanta, the warm weather is not taken for granted as Dubs get out of the house more and more. Junior Anderson Benedict reminisces on the spring tradition that she does with her brother each year. “Coincidentally, my brother and I’s birthdays are a day apart in April,” she says, “so every year our family goes out for dinner to celebrate and it’s my favorite night of the year!”
The excitement doesn’t stop there. As prom season approaches, anticipation reaches a fever pitch. From elaborate proposals to shopping for the perfect dress or suit, students eagerly prepare for the magical night ahead. For many, prom is not just a dance—it’s a rite of passage and a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Yet, amidst the festivities, North Atlanta High School students also find time to give back to their community. Springtime brings opportunities for volunteer projects and charity drives, where students come together to make a positive impact beyond the walls of their school. Whether it’s cleaning up local parks or organizing food drives for those in need, the spirit of service is alive and well at North Atlanta High School. Junior Libby Gray Hall loves to give back to the community. “The spring weather just puts me in a giving mood!” she says.
