      • North Paulding High School is a public high school in Dallas, Georgia, United States. The school mascot is the Wolf.


      History



      The school was built due to overcrowding in Paulding County. Paulding was listed as the eighth fastest growing county in the nation from 2000 to 2009, with a population growth from 81,613 residents in 2000 to 136,655 in 2009. North Paulding was projected to open in 2008, but due to over-crowding in the nearby East Paulding High School, it opened a year early. In the school's first year, North Paulding only taught freshmen and had to use Sammy McClure Middle School as its teaching facility until the actual high school building opened in 2008. The school graduated its first senior class in 2011. Two other schools share a campus with North Paulding: Sammy McClure Middle School and Burnt Hickory Elementary School.

      In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the school was reportedly failing to follow CDC guidelines related to mask-wearing, and was accused of creating an unsafe environment for returning students. Principal Gabe Carmona said students would be punished if they publicly posted concerns about the school's COVID-19 response. At least two students were suspended for sharing photos of unsafe conditions within the school, though the suspension of one was later rescinded. Just a few days after the photos were shared, six students and three staff members tested positive for COVID-19.


      Academics


      North Paulding High teaches grades 9ā€“12. The school teaches on a block schedule, meaning the students take semester long classes.

      Just before the beginning of the 2011ā€“12 school year, the school secured a contract for an Army JROTC program. The students of the 2011ā€“12 school year were the first to take advantage of this program.
