In episode 6 of the Raider Ramble, five of our eight Lifers join us to reflect on their journey at NSCD. They've grown alongside one another from their earliest days to their senior year, each step forging their Raider identity. As they share cherished memories and offer advice to our younger students, you'll feel the strong pulse of our North Shore community. Tune in to this final episode of Season 1 to celebrate the end of an era and the inspiration that guides our collective path forward.

Dan recently returned to the area after spending 6 years in Atlanta.  He currently works as a consultant to an app development company supporting mobile applications and participant live tracking to races in the Endurance Sports Industry.  He supports my mom (first Auction chair) and enjoys time with friends and his dog Milo.

In episode 5 of the Raider Ramble, NSCD alum Mullery Doar '06 explores the origin of the mysterious Ozzy Ball, a game that is deeply rooted in North Shore Country Day's lower school culture.

During a year of dramatic global events, the importance of Model United Nations is greater than ever. North Shore’s students met the challenge through their preparation and performance in this year’s series of five conferences. In addition to tackling pressing global issues, our growing team of 20 participants won numerous awards at regional and national conferences while setting the foundation for our future growth and competitiveness. Thanks to the leadership of our Secretary General senior Emi Comeau, and fellow advisor Erin Aiston, we are poised for years of continued success.

Our teachers love to teach, that we know. They exude a passion for their subjects and sustain and fuel their passion for teaching through learning. They pursue professional development opportunities related to their craft and their subject area so they can be the best educators they can be. Our faculty regularly attend workshops, conferences and webinars to strengthen their practice. But, supporting our teachers' growth requires more.

As the frigid grip of winter loosens and the first signs of spring emerge, lower schoolers have yet another reason to look forward to the warmer months: the return of lower school recess clubs, which offer fourth and fifth graders an opportunity to dive into their hobbies, make new friends across grades and take a little midday break from their academic responsibilities.

Have you ever wondered about the role of African Americans in shaping U.S. and global politics, economy and culture? Perhaps linear momentum, rotation, oscillations and gravitation are more your style. Or maybe you’d rather engage in conversations about the philosophy of math and how it can be used in the “real world.” These are just a few of the things NSCD upper school students might learn in some of the new courses being offered next year.

During the summer of 1974, my family moved from Minneapolis to Evanston. I started at North Shore that fall, and would be there until I graduated in 1983. Having been there for nine years, I have a lot of memories of the school and my time there. Most notably, North Shore instilled in me the importance of service in my community. Whether implied or directed, service was a recurring theme in my North Shore experience. At home, my parents reinforced the idea of giving back to the community, and it has been a strong theme in my life.
